[IPython-dev] generating input cells dynamically

[Patrick Surry]

That's cool!  Looks like you are creating a completely new notebook in that
case.

I'm following this question with interest since it seems closely related to
what I was trying to do in "unrolling a loop" over a sequence of cells, so
I can do (almost) the same thing a bunch of times in an interactive
notebook and still go back and poke around.

The suggestion there (below) was to use javascript API to execute cells.
 Is there also a way to insert/modify cells into the current notebook via
the javascript API?  (Is the API documented somewhere, I haven't been able
to find, although some good hints here
http://www.peterbouda.eu/ipython-and-javascript-interaction.html ?)

That would probably solve both of our problems?

Cheers,
Patrick

Maybe this:

    %%javascript
    IPython.notebook.execute_cell_range(x,y)

 with x,y the range of the cells.
