Word count of markdown jupyter notebook cells

word_count_notebook.py

import io
from IPython.nbformat import current

with io.open(filepath, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    nb = current.read(f, 'json')

word_count = 0
for cell in nb.worksheets[0].cells:
    if cell.cell_type == "markdown":
        word_count += len(cell['source'].replace('#', '').lstrip().split(' '))
print(word_count)

It really works after replacing the path with the filename. Thankyou so much.
