There is no simple way to import python files in another directory.
This is unrelated to the jupyter notebook
Here are 3 solutions to your problem
- You can add the directory containing the file you want to import to your path and then import the file like this:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/application/app/folder')
import file
You can create a local module by having an empty
__init__.py
file in the folder you want to import. There are some weird rules regarding the folder hierarchy that you have to take into consideration.You can create a module for the file you wish to import and install it globally.
