How to create modules in Jupyter notebook and import them? Python

Question

I've created multiple python modules as .py files in a Python IDE called Pyzo in the following path: 'C:\Users\Michael\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages' which I can then import like regular Python packages such as pandas and numpy into my Jupyter notebook or into Pyzo.

I'm a bit lost as to how to create a module in Jupyter notebook, containing a class with say a simple function, which I can then save and import into a new Jupyter notebook file.

The examples in this link below I found extremely vague and overly complicated. Any simpler examples would help, thanks! http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/IPython%20Kernel/Importing%20Notebooks.ipynb

Answer 1

%run ./module_code.ipynb

keep this in import section- replace module_code with your file name and then you can access functions inside that file from the new notebook.

Answer 2

Suppose you want to import the contents of A.ipynb into B.ipynb.

Installation

pip install import-ipynb

How to use Place both ipynb files in the same directory. Then, in the B.ipynb:

import import_ipynb
import A

Congratulations! You can now run any functions defined in A.ipynb from B.ipynb!
