programmatic creation of jupyter 4 notebooks?

I would like to programmatically generate some *.ipnb as part of my modeling work, so that i can dump annotated figures and code with markdown annotation to a public git repo. Ideally, I will create a new notebook and publish it every time I run new models.

from this gist, i found a pattern for doing this that involves: from IPython.nbformat import current as nbf

However, IPython.nbformat.current has been deprecated since last spring, and in fact is not present in jupyter/ipython 4.0.1, so this won't work for me.

What's the right pattern for this now?

an updated version for v4

there are probably better versions, this worked for me.

from nbformat import v4 as nbf
import nbformat
from os import path



def make_notebook(outPath: str, description: str):
    nb = nbf.new_notebook()
    code = "1+2"
    cells = [nbf.new_markdown_cell( description), nbf.new_code_cell(code)]
    nb['cells'] = cells

    fname = 'test.ipynb'
    print(nb)
    with open(path.join(outPath,fname), 'w') as _:
        nbformat.write(nb, _)
