jupyter nbconvert - recursive option request?

[kris2k]

Suggestion: to have -R recursive option; 

I found this solution on windows (7) with git-bash help:

$ find /d/im_ondiskD_now/path_to_the_top_directory_to_search -name '*.ipynb' | xargs jupyter nbconvert --to script

Personally, I don't think that nbconvert should bother with searching input files in a directory structure. As your post shows, this is easily added through scripting, without causing extra effort for the nbconvert maintainers.

Nevertheless, you can always open a feature request:

https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/issues

Submitting a PR will tremendously increase the chances of seeing it implemented.

cheers,

As one of the nbconvert maintainers, I'd say we're unlikely to add such a feature to nbconvert. As Roland mentioned it's easy to script or manage above the library and it would make the code harder to maintain over the long term.

And +1 for Issues / PRs being the best way to interface for feature requests (and for potential features :) )

Best,

Matt

To that point - on these kind of "quite useful but out-of-scope for a tightly-scoped project" hacks, I think documentation (or places like the community forum) are a good place for these kinds of tips
