edit py file and execute and save in jupyter notebook

Question

I am using mac.

In my anaconda "base" env, I found my jupyter notebook able to edit python file, execute cell like a jupyter notebook. When saving, all cell output will be discarded and only saving the python code.

I found this very handy and useful.

However when I try to conda env export > some.yml , after create an conda from this yml, i find function lost.

I start to wonder that this is some configuration not reflected in the yml export by conda.

Seems this function is not natively support by any offical jupyter package.

Does anyone have any idea how this function could be activated?

When trying to run conda list jupyter, here is the output

# packages in environment at /opt/anaconda3:

After 3 hours research,

pip install jupytext does the job.
