Hi

Is it possible to convert python script into ipynb file. The script may be in file or as a string ?

You can manually convert a few files by copying and pasting the code.

If you want to do it automatically for many scripts, here's a starting point:

Thanks for the response. With the code it is able to convet into ipynb file. But no kernel is getting opened. any suggestions ?

open a blank notebook, put "hello world" in 1st cell, run and save it, then open by your text editor, then replace "hello world" by your real code.

That's my quick hack without thinking too much here: https://github.com/arose/nglview/blob/master/nglview/scripts/nglview.py#L17-L57

For a quick one-off way, use the %load magic command in a blank cell in a notebook.

%load mycode.py

The kernel is determined by metadata in the notebook - have a look at the metadata in an existing notebook to see what it contains, and adapt the script to add metadata before writing the notebook.
