I was wondering if their is anyway to go through and make copies of each .ipynb file in a folder and then change that file to .py. I want to keep the .ipynb files but I would like to have a .py file as well. I know how to do it manually but would like a way to do it automatically for each file in a specified directory.

Just try this at Cmd prompt inside that folder.

jupyter nbconvert *.ipynb --to script

Converts all .ipynb files to .py and retains all .ipynb files as well.
Hope it helps

find . -name "*.py" -exec ipython nbconvert --to=python {} \; should work on Linux.

import os

directory = 'ipynb PATH'

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
    for file in files:
        if os.path.splitext(file)[1] == '.ipynb':
            exe_command = 'jupyter nbconvert "{}" --to python'.format(''.join(os.path.join(subdir, file)))
            
            # print the command`enter code here`
            # print (exe_command)
            
            os.system(exe_command)
            
            # Delete the file 
            # os.remove(''.join(os.path.join(subdir, file)))
        else:
            continue
