Reader for ipynb files

pelican-jupyter-reader: A Plugin for Pelican

This Pelican plugin provides a Jupyter Notebook (i.e. *.ipynb) reader. The plugin indends to allow users to simply drop Jupyter notebooks in their Pelican content directory and have the notebooks rendered (beautifully) in a Pelican static website.

Installation

This plugin can be installed via:

pip install pelican-jupyter-reader

Quckstart

• Add the plugin to pelicanconf.py:

# ...

from pelican.plugins import pelican_jupyter_reader
PLUGINS = [pelican_jupyter_reader]

# ...

• Provide Pelican post metadata as a top-level object with key pelican in the Jupyter notebook metadata:

{
    "pelican": {
        "date": "2020-04-10",
        "title": "this is a title",
        "tags": "thats, awesome",
        "category": "yeah",
        "slug": "my-super-post",
        "authors": "Alexis Metaireau, Conan Doyle",
        "summary": "Short version for index and feeds"
    },
    "kernelspec": {
        "display_name": "Python 3",
        "language": "python",
        "name": "python3"
    },
//...

• Drop your Jupyter notebook in the pelican content directory, build your site, and deploy! :rocket:

Notes

The Jupyter nbconvert configuration for preprocessors and the HTMLExporter are exposed in your Pelican config, pelicanconf.py. This means you can do some useful manipulation of your notebooks while reading.

For example, to use the basic template for the HTMLExporter, you could add the following to your pelicanconf.py:

from traitlets.config import Config
NBCONVERT_CONFIG = Config()
NBCONVERT_CONFIG.HTMLExporter.template = 'basic'

To strip empty cells from the notebook before publishing, you might add this option to pelicanconf.py:

# ...
NBCONVERT_CONFIG.RegexRemovePreprocessor.patterns = \
    ['\\s*\\Z']

Other nbconvert configuration options can be found here.
