ipynbname

When run in a Jupyter notebook, simply returns the notebook filename or the full path to the notebook. I created this to help with automating posting blog posts written in Jupyter notebooks directly to GitHub Pages.
Check it out if you're looking to use this method of blogging :metal:

You would think there was already some built-in way to access the current notebook name, but it took many hours of searching for a way to do it. As it seems many others did, I tried using Javascript, but the async nature of JS meant that it was unreliable. Finally I stumbled on this post. I have refactored the code there so a user can get either the name or path, but credit for most of the code goes to the author of this post, thanks!

Examples

Get the notebook name:

import ipynbname
nb_fname = ipynbname.name()

Get the full path to the notebook:

import ipynbname
nb_path = ipynbname.path()
