Jupyter/ExtensionPackage

This has basically been a failure, at every attempt.

Trying to get a standalone pip-install-able package to get a Jupyter extension installed and working, that can plant a custom CSS file/theme into a Juypter configuration directory.

Link roll/cleaning up:

ipython-widgetboilerplate

• https://github.com/jdfreder/ipython-widgetboilerplate
• too old - structure doesn't match jupyter currently

jupyter contrib nbextensions

• https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
• this actually WORKS - installs custom CSS - but no idea how to extricate this from all the other junk bundled in there, and also we can't do custom compilation scripts, etc.
• not standalone enough, not independent enough, not complicated enough
• but, we can install custom css

jupyter notebook documentation:

• https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/Notebook/Distributing%20Jupyter%20Extensions%20as%20Python%20Packages.html#Installation-of-Jupyter-Extensions
• covers installation of notebook extensions
• incomplete, and not exactly... what you need... for nbextensions
• https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/Notebook/Distributing%20Jupyter%20Extensions%20as%20Python%20Packages.html
• talking about bundling as packages

github searches:

• https://github.com/search?p=6&q=load_ipython_extension&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
• searching for load_ipython_extension
• https://github.com/search?q=_jupyter_nbextension_paths&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
• searching for _jupyter_nbextension_paths()

examples of notebook pluginss:

• https://github.com/yuvipanda/nbtimetravel
• https://github.com/blink1073/oct2py/blob/master/oct2py/ipython/octavemagic.py (magic plugin, precisely what we want to do eventually, but right now just trying to get basics of css installation working)

more notes:

the closest we have come is getting jupyter contrib nbextensions [1] to work, it's just too limited and not meant for one-extension-one-package I guess...

"Please make sure you use the branch corresponding to your IPython/Jupyter version."

Reset

use the approach that works - the jupyter contrib nbextenstions repo - and refit it with a single package.
