Coming from Jupytext¶
If you’re familiar with Jupytext, you’ll find that marimo offers similar
functionality for working with notebooks as Python files, but without the need
for additional setup or synchronization issues because marimo notebooks
are stored as .py files by default. However, Jupytext works with IPython
notebooks, whereas marimo works with marimo notebooks, which are not based
on IPython/Jupyter. Here’s a comparison to help you transition smoothly.
Notebook Format¶
Converting Jupyter notebooks¶
From .ipynb¶
From py:percent notebooks to marimo notebooks
If you have a Python file encoded in the py:percent format, you can convert it to a marimo notebook in two steps:
jupytext --to notebook.ipynb percent_notebook.py
marimo convert notebook.ipynb > marimo_notebook.py
