Many jupyter developers work very hard on it on their own time. It's impossible for them to anticipate every use case. And at any rate, their hard work has culminated in the creation of very powerful tools that are provided absolutely free as in both beer and speech. When you stop to think about the lineage of the notebook in context of Fernado's original "afternoon hack" on the standard python REPL, it's quite remarkable. As a user, I've come across the situation you describe. We're all different in this world, but my firs thought was to use the File menu to create a copy, work on that, then incorporate any changes into or overwrite the notebook. -Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
