Hey guys, a relative newbie here when it comes to using the windows command prompt and to github in general so this could possibly be a silly question, but I've spend over an hour on this and have searched far and wide with no solution.

Case:

installed all dependencies
downloaded nbconvert repo to dir: C:\Python27\Lib\nbconvert-master
added environment path variables for the nbconvert base dir, as well as the css and js subdirectories
added environment path variable for dir where ipython notebook is saved
tested that nbconvert was install with 'nbconvert.py -h'. This works.
tried to convert notebook with 'nbconvert.py -f blogger-html test.ipynb'. Get the following error:
IOError: [Error 2] No such file or directory: 'test.ipynb'

I tried copying test.ipynb to the nbconvert directory and still get the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Consider recommend Conda for Windows Users?

Can somebody with Win (maybe @chrismv48) check the status of this bug using nbconvert inside IPython? My religion forbid me to touch Win in any way... 😉
Things have changed a lot since the integration of nbconvert into IPython...

This is a bug in old nbconvert, closing.
