Creating a jupyter notebook programatically

import nbformat as nbf

nb = nbf.v4.new_notebook()

# Text Cell ---------------------------------
text = """\
# My first automatic Jupyter Notebook
This is an auto-generated notebook."""

# Code Cell ---------------------------------
code = """\
%pylab inline
hist(normal(size=2000), bins=50);"""

# Create & Save the Notebook ----------------
nb['cells'] = [nbf.v4.new_markdown_cell(text), nbf.v4.new_code_cell(code) ]
nbf.write(nb, 'test.ipynb')

# You can run this notebook from the command line (if you want):
jupyter nbconvert --execute --inplace test.ipynb
