jupyter notebook - from ipynb to py with jupiter lab export

Question

I open Jupyter lab, I go to

1. file
2. Export Notebook As
3. Export Notebook As Executable Script.

I than get a warning from my system saying: This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep filename.py anyway?

Is there risk involved? Why do I get the warning? Would you recommend that way to convert my .ipynb to .py?

Answer 1

You are warned because your browser noticed that you are trying to download some .py script. When you download some from the Internet it really can be harmful. But the browser doesn't know that actually, it's your own code. So download it, you'll be fine.
