[IPython-dev] Loop over a set of notebook cells?

[Patrick Surry]

A common pattern for me is to do some data analysis w/ tables and plots via
a sequence of cells in a notebook.  Then I want to come back and repeat the
same analysis for a (small number of) different versions or subsets of the
same dataset.

There's a related question on
stackoverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15635341/run-parts-of-a-ipython-notebook-in-a-loop-with-different-input-parameter>


I could save the whole notebook and run it from the command-line
programmatically, but that breaks the interactive/interactive approach
(e.g. when one of my variants ends up going down a slightly different
track).

Or I could reorganize the notebook so it does everything in one huge cell
but that makes multiple plots and tables challenging.

Feels like I want some looping magic to loop over the next N cells, or at
least some kind of block copy & paste or something?

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Patrick
