Unable to download notebooks as python files

[KB-Q]

---

I've clearly defined my extensions for downloading notebooks as follows:

"databricks.connection.default.exportFormats": {
        "Scala": ".scala",
        "Python": ".py",
        "SQL": ".sql",
        "R": ".r"
},

• yet when I download a python notebook it is downloaded as an ipynb file only (see attached screenshot)

---

Another interesting thing is that when I create a python file like this, and upload it to databricks:

# Databricks notebook source
# COMMAND ----------
print("Hello World")

• it automatically gets converted to a databricks notebook (which is expected)
• however when I download it back, it gets downloaded as a ipynb notebook and messes up the local python file

---

Expected behaviour:

• with the above defined exportFormats, databricks notebooks should be downloaded as python files
• python files uploaded with the above # Databricks notebook source comment should be converted to databricks notebooks

are you using any other connections as well - meaning besides your default connection?
the exportFormats setting has to be defined there as well
