Python Version Support

This library currently supports Python 3.6+ versions. As minor Python versions are officially sunset by the Python org, nbclient will similarly drop support in the future.

Origins

This library used to be part of the nbconvert project. NBClient extracted nbconvert's ExecutePreprocessorinto its own library for easier updating and importing by downstream libraries and applications.

Relationship to JupyterClient

NBClient and JupyterClient are distinct projects.

jupyter_client is a client library for the jupyter protocol. Specifically, jupyter_client provides the Python API for starting, managing and communicating with Jupyter kernels.

While, nbclient allows notebooks to be run in different execution contexts.
