Copying multiple cells, input and output, and pasting to outside applications?

[Jean Bigboute]

I would like to send sample cell inputs and outputs to colleagues who use Python but who don't use the Notebook.

I can multiselect cells and copy via Ctrl-C but on pasting into, say, an email, only the first Input pastes.  I have to manually copy and paste the other inputs and outputs.

Additionally, the In[#] and Out[#] don't carry over so I have to type those back in. 

Any suggestions of how to do this without so much effort?

You may have better results copying from the notebook converted to HTML. The easiest way to see this conversion is to select 'print preview' from the notebook file menu.

Thanks.  I can now multi-copy and paste cell contents. 

Is there a way to include the In[#] and Out[#] blocks in the copy operation?

Not easily. It appears to use CSS 'user-select: none' to prevent selecting the prompts. You can disable the CSS rules for this in your browser's inspector, then select and copy them. Or you may be able to write a custom HTML export template which overrides that rule.

Ok thanks. That kind of customization is beyond me.

I think I'll migrate to the terminal/(i)python interface that my colleagues are using for this.
