do something like:

from IPython.html.services.notebooks import nbmanager

However, creating notebooks programmatically is easier with nbformat.
Create a notebook using new_notebook():

http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/api/generated/IPython.nbformat.v3.nbbase.html#module-IPython.nbformat.v3.nbbase

And save it using write():

http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/api/generated/IPython.nbformat.v3.nbbase.html#module-IPython.nbformat.v3.nbbase
