[Generalising] Has anyone succeeded with seeding a notebook with external arguments?

[Pav A]

Either:

* via notebook URL (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jupyter/mAMf9OVOgss)

* via a POST request to the notebook

* jquery bbq parser talking to Python kernel via Javascript (note: this is explicitly not supported in Jupyter Dashboards: https://github.com/jupyter/dashboards_server/issues/309#issuecomment-267205021)

* any other way?

Anyone? :)

Hi Pav,

From the command line you can use things like
https://github.com/paulgb/runipy, or
https://github.com/takluyver/nbparameterise.

If you are running pure nbconvert, then environment variable may be
enough. Otherwise you have to dive into creating your own
kernel/session manager to do fancy stuff when the kernel starts.

Hope that helps a bit.

I've used javascript magic to get the url into python land:

%%javascript
IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('url = "' + window.location.href + '"');

then parse it with python:

from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qsl

qs = dict(parse_qsl(urlparse(url).query))
