A set of examples and functions in which to handle HB Model in Jupyter Notebook

Some example / samples of working HB objects via HBJSON in Jupyter Notebook

Will hopefully grow into 'turn HB model into multiple pandas dataframes for tabular review and also some kinda eppy/opyplus esque functionality'... becuase why not..

Big shout to EM: I leaned how to do this from him sooo I take 0 cred

the jist:

import json

            hb_objs.append(hb_obj)
    return hb_objs

### This is where the fun begins:

my_ipynb_hb_obj = build_hb_objs('path//to//hbjson')

And now:

my_ipynb_hb_obj is the same as any hbobj in Grasshopper ghpy!
