After I published my post introducing the Stack Overflow API, I began working to keep my promise. I set up a virtual environment, installed some packages and dug in. About five code cells later I discovered a missing feature in the software I was using. I thought that warranted a blog post before my basket analysis post, so I started to document my journey of logging an issue and submitting a PR. This required quite a bit of back-and-forth between writing and validating that my notebook and its output would display on my blog correctly. You could say that having to convert the notebook to HTML, move and rename it to match the expected formatting, and then copy/paste my front matter to the top of the post was rather annoying 😒. So annoying that I’ve decided to write a pre-pre-post covering my solution. I’ll try to be brief.

Have you considered putting things like this into a utility package that you always have on hand?

I have, but as I don't have any other functions right now I'll probably keep it as its own standalone module. Will definitely combine other utility functions into a single module/package if/when the need arises.
