jupyterlab commands

Arbitrary python commands for notebooks in JupyterLab

About

This extension adds arbitrary Python commands to JupyterLab's command palette. Commands can run outside notebooks and consoles, making them useful for tasks such as:

• running predefined nbconvert functions without adding code to a notebook
• interacting with version control without recording that interaction in a notebook

Installation

pip install jupyterlab-commands

Configuration

Install the server extension and add commands to jupyter_lab_config.py:

def convert(request, *args, **kwargs):
    import json
    import os
    import subprocess

    import tornado

    data = json.loads(tornado.escape.json_decode(request.body))
    path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), data["path"])
    subprocess.run(["jupyter", "nbconvert", path, "--to", "html"], check=True)
    return {"body": "ok"}


c.JupyterLabCommands.commands = {"convert": convert}

Commands appear in the command palette:

Command output appears in the terminal:
