@miguelgfierro I don't find any alternatives to scrapbook after googling. The solutions, I think, may be

1. Use nbformat as you do in Programmatic execution of notebook miguelgfierro/pybase#73
2. Borrow and modify the functions like sb.glue() as @anargyri said in the meeting and make them part of Recommenders.

For the 1st option, I saw you wrote the functions to do that, what else should we do? I can try tomorrow.

Actually, option 2 is kind of what I was doing in 1. If you have time it would be great if you could try 1.

I think I have finished the functions, see miguelgfierro/pybase#73

Man, they say the most difficult language in the world is Chinese, but I think it is regex. Thank goodness that we have ChatGPT.

@SimonYansenZhao I'll start a PR soon to replace all the scrapbook

Fixed!
