Hi, just a data point. I hacked and munged nbconvert to a single module
here:
https://github.com/averagehuman/ipynb2html
because
1) It didn't support the creation of HTML fragments for including in
other output (eg. static blog engine/django templatetag)
2) It wasn't an installable package.
Here is the ReST directive I wrote for including an IPython notebook in
a Pelican blog post:
https://gist.github.com/averagehuman/5925401
Thanks to whoever is working on nbconvert, I hope my use case can be
supported.
