nbv 0.0.3

Read-only viewing of Jupyter notebooks in the web browser.

nbv

Read-only Jupyter Notebook viewing using nbconvert.

Invoking

nbv notebook.ipynb

converts the notebook to HTML[^1] and opens this HTML file in the default web browser.

You can get a similar result with just

nbconvert notebook.ipynb --to html --post serve

Note that this (and nbv) doesn't require a full Jupyter installation (e.g. JupyterLab) in order to run. But nbv has additional benefits[^2]:

• doesn't pollute the notebook location with HTML (unlike the above)
• no server, just open the HTML file in browser
• simple CLI, exposing only a few nbconvert options

Note: currently requires jupyter-nbconvert available on PATH[^3]. Maybe later will update to use the nbconvert library directly instead.

[^1]: Inside the OS temporary directory by default. [^2]: Also I wanted to try Typer. [^3]: Since a pipx install of nbv doesn't give this, I have removed nbconvert from the dependencies for now.
