jupytext: Convert a notebook to a `.py` file.
$ jupytext --to py ${notebook-ipynb}
try on your machine
The command "jupytext --to py ${notebook-ipynb}" is meant to convert a Jupyter notebook file (.ipynb) into a Python script file (.py) using a tool called Jupytext.
Here's how each part of the command works:
- "jupytext": This is the name of the command-line tool, Jupytext, which is used to convert Jupyter notebooks.
- "--to py": This option specifies that you want to convert the notebook to a Python script file (.py). It tells Jupytext which output format to use.
- "${notebook-ipynb}": This refers to the input Jupyter notebook file that you want to convert. The "${notebook-ipynb}" is a placeholder for the actual filename or filepath of the notebook you provide.
To use this command, you would replace "${notebook-ipynb}" with the actual file name or file path of the Jupyter notebook you want to convert. For example, if your notebook file is named "my_notebook.ipynb" and is located in the current directory, you would execute: "jupytext --to py my_notebook.ipynb". The command would then convert "my_notebook.ipynb" into a Python script file named "my_notebook.py".
Note that you need Jupytext installed on your system for this command to work.
