[FIXED] IPython nbconvert Syntax error?

Issue

I am attempting to simply export an IPython notebook to a PDF. I cannot get past a syntax error that makes no sense to me.

ipython nbconvert "TestBook.ipynb" --to=latex --post=PDF
File "<ipython-input-45-98f03ab096ad>", line 1
ipython nbconvert "TestBook.ipynb" --to=latex --post=PDF
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm new to python and IPython, but I'm at a complete loss here. Any ideas?

Solution

Looks like you are trying to run this in the python shell

>>> ipython nbconvert "TestBook.ipynb" --to=latex --post=PDF
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ipython nbconvert "TestBook.ipynb" --to=latex --post=PDF
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 

Exit from the shell, and run it from the command line instead.
