Juypter notebook currently has a limitation: Starting terminal in current directory
How do I do this from command-line (no Anaconda or other GUI), without the following unacceptable hacky approaches? (and in particular where the notebook directory might well change between invocations, or between users?)
Embed hard paths into your notebook code. Must be absolute paths. (yukky). Also user-dependent. Can't distribute notebooks which handle files properly with paths relative to their install dir. Or across machines.
Best solution found so far (on Unix):
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir `pwd` &
because
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir . &
(relative-paths) won't work for commands from inside the notebook.
