  • 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.
