nbz

nbz (pronounced ‘en-bee-zed’) is a typer-based wrapper around the incredible nbdev project.

Check out the video demo!

nbdevis an incredible software development environment. You write code in notebooks and it exports the result to Python flatfiles. It also handles documentation, version releases, and so much more.

The goal of this project is to do the following, with items 2 and 3 being potential targets for upstream changes to nbdev:

Wrap the nbdev command-line interface with typer to take advantage of some of the features of that framework (formatting, auto-completion, etc)
Enhance the existing CLI documentation
Add new features that may or may not fit in nbdev
Provide an interface for other systems

Developer Guide

If you are new to using nbdev here are some useful pointers to get you started.

Install nbz in Development mode

# make sure nbz package is installed in development mode
$ pip install -e .

# make changes to nbs/core.ipynb
# ...

# compile to have changes apply to nbz

$ nbz export
$ nbz clean
$ nbz trust

Usage

Installation

Install latest from the GitHub repository:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/pydanny/nbz.git

COMING SOON: or from conda

$ conda install -c pydanny nbz

COMING SOON: or from pypi

$ pip install nbz

Documentation

Documentation can be found hosted on this GitHub repository’s pages. Additionally you can find package manager specific guidelines on conda and pypi respectively.

Using nbz

Once you’ve installed nbz, check that all dependencies have been installed and secrets have been configured with the check command:

nbz check

Now let’s create a new project, which we’ll call silo. From the directory where you create your projects, run the following command:

nbz new silo

This will attempt to infer your prefences from git, but for things it can’t figure out, it will prompt you for answers:
