nbQA is a command-line tool that lets you run standard Python code quality tools like ruff, black, isort, mypy, pylint, flake8, and pyupgrade on Jupyter Notebooks. It handles IPython magics, respects existing config files, and integrates with pre-commit hooks.

Use cases

• format jupyter notebooks with black
• lint notebook code cells with ruff or flake8
• sort imports in ipynb files with isort
• run mypy type checking on notebooks
• upgrade python syntax in notebooks with pyupgrade
• add notebook linting to pre-commit hooks
• format markdown cells in notebooks

When to choose

• you want to apply standard Python linters and formatters to Jupyter notebooks without converting them
• you need notebook code quality checks in CI or pre-commit
• you want tools that respect your existing linting configuration files

When to avoid

• you only work with plain Python scripts and never touch notebooks
• you need a notebook-specific linter with custom rules rather than a wrapper around existing tools
