How to interpret .py files as jupyter notebooks

Question

I am using an online jupyter notebook that is somehow configured to read all .py files as jupyter notebook files:

I am a big fan of this setup and would like to use it everywhere. On my own jupyter installation however, .py files are just interpreted as test files and are not by default loaded into jupyter cells. How can I achieve the same configuration for my jupyter notebook?

Answer 1

What you're looking for is jupytext. You just need to install it into python env from which you're running your jupyter notebooks:

pip install jupytext --upgrade

And you get this:

Answer 2

That's not exactly what you asked, but you can achieve something close to that by using the magic %load FILE.py in a new jupyter notebook.

%load FILE.py will copy the contents of FILE.py in the current cell upon executing it.
