[IPython-dev] Create New Notebook from Command-line

[Zoltán Vörös]

A comment along similar lines: wouldn't it make sense to allow the user 
to automatically execute python code before a notebook is loaded, 
somewhat similarly to what is done on the javascript side with the 
content of  profile/startup/custom?

Often, I find myself in a similar situation: when the name of a notebook 
is of a particular form, I want to create a data folder for that 
notebook, want to have a specific first cell, etc.

If there was a place somewhere in profile/python/startup, whose python 
code were executed before the notebook is loaded, a lot of these 
problems could easily be solved, or delegated to the user.

Now, I don't know the security implications of such a mechanism, and 
this idea might have already been discussed and rejected by the core 
team, so I might be barking up the wrong tree...

Cheers,
Zoltán
