This function takes a notebook filename and returns the notebook format (json/py) and the notebook name. This logic can be summarized as follows:

• notebook.json -> (notebook.json, notebook, json)
• notebook.py -> (notebook.py, notebook, py)
• notebook -> (notebook.ipynb, notebook, json)

Parameters:

fname : unicode

The notebook filename. The filename can use a specific filename extention (.ipynb, .json, .py) or none, in which case .ipynb will be assumed.

Returns:

The filename, notebook name and format.
