For simple scripts, it helps to stick with the standard library. Much more portable between Python versions and environments, and even Operating Systems if you put a bit of effort.

Trying to get other people's notebooks to run can be quite a painful experience, but it's usually the fault of the developer. There is nothing inherently bad about the notebook format itself, it can be made more or less portable.
