Hi, I am trying this method to automatically save the .py version of the notebook but getting the below-outlined error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "jupyter_notebook_config.py", line 11, in
c = get_config()
NameError: name 'get_config' is not defined

My Jupyter version is 4.4 and using a lengthy version of code that can be seen here

your help is much appreciated.
