IPython.nbformat.v2.parse_filename(fname)

Parse a notebook filename.

This function takes a notebook filename and returns the notebook format (json/py) and the notebook name. This logic can be summarized as follows:

• notebook.ipynb -> (notebook.ipynb, notebook, json)
• notebook.json -> (notebook.json, notebook, json)
• notebook.py -> (notebook.py, notebook, py)
• notebook -> (notebook.ipynb, notebook, json)

Parameters:

fname : unicode

The notebook filename. The filename can use a specific filename extention (.ipynb, .json, .py) or none, in which case .ipynb will be assumed.

Returns:

(fname, name, format) : (unicode, unicode, unicode)

The filename, notebook name and format.
