Jupytext is a Python package and Jupyter extension that converts Jupyter notebooks two-way between .ipynb and plain-text formats such as Markdown, MyST, Quarto, and percent-format scripts for Python, Julia, R and more. It supports paired notebooks that keep a text file and an .ipynb in sync, enabling clean diffs, IDE editing, and easier AI-assisted refactoring.
Use cases
- version control jupyter notebooks with clean diffs
- convert ipynb to python script or markdown
- edit notebooks in VS Code or PyCharm
- pair ipynb with a py file and keep them in sync
- refactor notebook code with AI assistants
- publish notebooks with Jupyter Book or Quarto
When to choose
- you want meaningful git diffs for notebooks
- you prefer editing notebook code in a regular IDE
- you need to import notebook code as a module or script
- you want AI tools to read and edit notebooks as plain text
When to avoid
- you only need to execute notebooks without text conversion
- you rely on rich outputs stored in the text file itself
- you need async contents managers like jupyter-fs's default MetaManager
