removing certain cells via tags fails due to wrong type












2















I want to hide certain parts of a jupyter notebook and came across tags which can achieve this. I've tagged the cells with remove_cell in my notebook an tried to run



$ jupyter nbconvert test.ipynb --TagRemovePreprocessor.remove_input_tags="{'remove_cell'}" 


however I always get the following error:



traitlets.traitlets.TraitError: The 'remove_input_tags' trait of a TagRemovePreprocessor instance must be a set, but a value of type 'unicode' (i.e. u'{remove_cell}') was specified.


I've tried to change the "{'remove_cell'}" to various format, e.g. {'remove_cell'} etc with the same result. Any help would be appreciated

          According to nbconvert documentation it must be done as you have specified. But there seems to be some bug in command line parsing traitlets API, used internally by jupyter nbconvert. So i tried a slightly different approach of specifying Configuration in jupyter_nbconvert_config.py file.



          Steps:




          1. jupyter nbconvert --generate-config
            This will generate default ~/.jupyter/jupyter_nbconvert_config.py.


          2. Edit the configuration file and specify your configuration, in this case
            c.TagRemovePreprocessor.remove_input_tags = set(['remove_cell'])


          3. Run jupyter nbconvert test.ipynb This will remove the tagged cells and convert it to default HTML page.

          • many thanks for your answer. Everything goes through now but I still get the input cells. the file looks ok, as there is a tag: { "cells": [ { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": 77, "metadata": { "tags": [ "remove_cell" ] },

          • @math Remember you will still view input cells in notebook (test.ipynb), Only after converting to HTML/other formats the tagged cells will be removed. Hence I suggest you also share test.html file.
