Pelican plugin for Jupyter/IPython Notebooks

Today I read about nice thing that called as Jupyter I installed its locally, it’s cool to play with python there and store results in files with .ipynb extension locally. Then I found that it is plugin pelican-ipynb for Pelican. With that plugin enabled, Pelican easy creates html pages with proper markup like into Jupyter. I’ll try to use it sometimes, to avoid copying code samples from ipython console to markdown files. Its possible to convert .ipynb content to nice formatted article !

So I created separate plugins folder in my site hierarchy and cloned repo pelican-ipynb into my plugins folder to ipynb directory.

 $ git clone https://github.com/danielfrg/pelican-ipynb ipynb

So my tree looks like

plugins/
└── ipynb
    ├── core.py
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── ipynb.py
    ├── liquid.py
    ├── markup.py
...

In pelicanconf.py file I added “ipynb.markup” to PLUGINS list.

PLUGINS = ['i18n_subsites',
           'related_posts',
           "tag_cloud",
           "tipue_search",
           "ipynb.markup"
           ]

Then add

MARKUP = ('md', 'ipynb')

And added new plugins path

PLUGIN_PATHS = ['pelican-plugins/', 'plugins/']

That’s all settings. In next article I’ll try to use this plugin.

P.S. I had to fork ipynb repo and did little fix, to make date in metadata file .ipynb-meta not mandatory. So now I use fork pelican-ipynb
