nb_helpers

A simple tool to clean, test and fix notebooks for your repo

Install

You can install from pypi:

pip install nb_helpers

or get latest:

pip install -e .

Usage

This little library gives you command line tools to clean, test and check your jupyter notebooks.

• Clean: When you call clean_nbs it will strip notebooks from the metadata, this helps prevent git conflicts. You can also pass the flag --clear_outs and also remove cell outputs.

$ nb_helpers.clean_nbs --help                                                                                                                                   tcapelle at MBP14.local (-)(main)
usage: nb_helpers.clean_nbs [-h] [--path PATH] [--clear_outs] [--verbose]

Clean notebooks on `path` from useless metadata

options:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  --path PATH   The path to notebooks (default: .)
  --clear_outs  Remove cell outputs (default: False)
  --verbose     Rnun on verbose mdoe (default: False)

You can run this comman on this repo:

$ nb_helpers.clean_nbs

• Run: One can run the notebooks in path and get info about the execution.

$ nb_helpers.run_nbs --help                                                                                                                                tcapelle at MBP14 (--)(main)
usage: nb_helpers.run_nbs [-h] [--verbose] [--lib_name LIB_NAME] [--no_run] [--pip_install] [--github_issue] [--repo REPO] [--owner OWNER] [path]

positional arguments:
  path                 A path to nb files (default: /Users/tcapelle/wandb/nb_helpers)

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --verbose            Print errors along the way (default: False)
  --lib_name LIB_NAME  Python lib names to filter, eg: tensorflow
  --no_run             Do not run any notebook (default: False)
  --pip_install        Run cells with !pip install (default: False)
  --github_issue       Create a github issue if notebook fails (default: False)
  --repo REPO          Github repo to create issue in (default: nb_helpers)
  --owner OWNER        Github owner to create issue in (default: wandb)

You can now post github issues when running fails, the cool thing is that it can be posted to another repo than the one from the notebooks. Just pass the --repo name and the --owner (for example wandb/other_cool_repo)

You get the following output inside this repo:

$ nb_helpers.run_nbs
CONSOLE.is_terminal(): True
Writing output to run.csv

• Summary: You can get a summary of the notebooks in your project with the nb_helpers.summary_nbs function.

$ nb_helpers.summary_nbs
CONSOLE.is_terminal(): True
Writing output to /Users/tcapelle/wandb/nb_helpers/logs/summary.csv

Python Lib

All this functions can also be used inside python:

from pathlib import Path
from nb_helpers.run import run_nbs

examples_path = Path("examples/colabs")

errors = run_nbs(path=examples_path, verbose=True, timeout=600)

Also the library has many little functions to make your life easier inside the repo you are orchestrating:

from pathlib import Path
from nb_helpers.utils import *
from nb_helpers.colab import *

examples_path = Path("examples/colabs")

# get all nbs in the folder recursevely, filters hidden, non nb stuff
nb_files = find_nbs(example_path)

one_nb_path = nb_files[0]
notebook = read_nb(one_nb_path)

# get all libs imported
libs = detect_imported_libs(notebook)

# get remote github repo
github_repo = git_origin_repo(one_nb_path)

# detect if master is called main or master
master_name = git_main_name(one_nb_path)

# get colab link
colab_url = get_colab_url(one_nb_path, branch)
