Documentation
See ReadTheDocs for more in-depth details about the project and the
API Reference.
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 ExecutePreprocessor
into 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.

Our Copyright Policy
Jupyter uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
over their contributions to Jupyter. But, it is important to note that these
contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the Jupyter
source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire Jupyter
Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate
their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the
change to one of the Jupyter repositories.
With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file
to indicate the copyright and license terms:
