[IPython-User] embed data in notebooks?

[Thomas Breuel]

Right now, notebooks already contain images, when they store output.

I was wondering whether it is already possible to store data in a notebook
as well, or whether that could be added.

Embedded data could be binary data that is read from a file, or possibly
also the contents of files themselves (the former allows the latter to be
done quite easily).

That way, a notebook that demonstrates some data or image processing steps
doesn't need to rely on separate files for its inputs but could be
completely self-contained.  And the mechanisms for that kind of storage
already seem to be there.
