jupyter_ascending VS jupytext.vim

untitled-ai/jupyter_ascending: Ascend your Jupyter Notebook usage

Look great. Seems like a more rounded version https://github.com/untitled-ai/jupyter_ascending

Sounds like Jupyter Ascending, although my last attempt to use it didn't end up well (and it doesn't support Jupyter Lab yet). Maybe I should give it another try later.

jupyter_ascending looks promising as a vim-only solution. There is also magma-nvim for neovim users.

I tried plugins like jupytext.vim but it was not enough mature in these old times :-)

You can also use jupytext.vim to easily open and edit notebooks. Then you can use a REPL program to evaluate the different cells individually. The only downside to me is that you can’t save the output back to the notebook (images etc.).

Editing *.ipynb files can also be edited with jupytext.vim, which automatically converts *.ipynb files using jupytext which you open them in Vim. I haven't tried this yet (it's on my todo list), but it looks pretty solid.

For editing notebooks in vim, I've created https://github.com/goerz/jupytext.vim. Note that this does not allow to run any cells, it just edits the inputs.

The motivation behind this was to have some basic interaction with existing ipynb files on a remote server without having to run the jupyter server (and set up port forwarding etc.) It's worth noting that the `jupytext.vim plugin is most useful if you're actually not running `jupytext` within jupyter; If you are, you could just directly open the .py or .md files linked to any .ipynb in your editor.

I've used `jupytext.vim` to edit existing notebooks and then run them through `jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute`. It's also great for refactoring: moving code from a notebook files into a module, between notebooks, or to create a new notebook as a variation of an existing one.
