How do I get the current IPython / Jupyter Notebook name

Question

I am trying to obtain the current NoteBook name when running the IPython notebook. I know I can see it at the top of the notebook. What I am after something like

currentNotebook = IPython.foo.bar.notebookname() 

I need to get the name in a variable.

Answer 1

adding to previous answers,

to get the notebook name run the following in a cell:

%%javascript IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('nb_name = "' + IPython.notebook.notebook_name + '"') 

this gets you the file name in nb_name

then to get the full path you may use the following in a separate cell:

import os nb_full_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), nb_name)
