Question

When I'm using Jupyter Notebook under Pycharm, it doesn't seem to include my current working directory, or the source root directory, in the PYTHONPATH of the currently active Jupyter Notebook. This is unlike the behaviour of ordinary .py files, for which Pycharm automatically includes its current directory and the project source root directory in the PYTHONPATH. So, is it possible to set Pycharm to automatically include the project source root directory in the PYTHONPATH for Jupyter Notebooks run under Pycharm?

Answer 1

It turns out, in a past endeavour, I modified my jupyter_notebook_config.py in %USER%\.jupyter folder. Looked at lines as follows:

## The directory to use for notebooks and kernels.
c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'D:\\Works\\GitHub\\Jupyter\\'

The line under the ##, indicates the override path, evidently.

When I commented it out...Pycharm all of the sudden successfully launched with pwd of the file (location of the .ipynb). good luck, hth.
