如何在Anaconda（Jupyter笔记本）中导入python自定义类

Question

I don't manage to find how import custom class in Python with the Jupyter notebook in anaconda.

In my work folder I have a file 'user.ipynb' that contains a class name User . In an other file in the same folder, I try to import this class with : from user import User .

I get this error: ImportError: No module named user.

I tried to create a file ' _ _init__.py' and _ _init__.ipynb in this folder but it doesn't work.

Do you know how I could do this ?

Thank you in advance

Python modules are either files named *.py or directories with an __init__.py in them. user.ipynb is neither, it's an IPython (Jupyter) notebook, so it is not a module and you can't import it.

The easiest way to get this to work is to convert the notebook to a .py file (this can be done using the export function) and then you'll be able to import it.

An alternative is to provide code that lets you import notebooks directly; such code is available here . Looks like a lot of bother, though. I'm not sure why they didn't just bake this in; it seems like it would be useful.
