Add stripping for associated .py files about nbstripout HOT 3 CLOSED

You can achieve that with a simple sed command:

sed 's/In\[[0-9]\+\]:/In[ ]:/' yourfile.py

I don't think this is something nbstripout should handle. What is your use case / workflow?

either sed or a small python script would work. I use GIT on Windows and I have automatic saving of python copies of my notebooks setup in jupyter. I can certainly add this feature separately on my system, but I am sure there are quite a few people who use this feature of jupyter, and they would also need it.
What do you think?

I'm still not convinced nbstripout is the tool to handle this. It's really geared towards notebooks and having it handle Python scripts raises a number of questions:

• Presumably you don't want to apply this filter to all Python scripts but only those exported from notebooks. So setting up the filter by file extension won't cut it.
• nbstripout can (and does, when used as a Git filter) read from stdin and therefore doesn't even know the file extension.
• Even if it did, that would not be safe, so it would need to detect the file type or be told via a flag.

I'd rather keep nbstripout focussed on notebooks and handle that case well than adding a feature to handle an edge case that will confuse the majority of users.

Why don't you set up that sed command as a filter for your Python scripts? Arguably you might not even want to track those in Git since they're automatically generated.
