在主要笔记本之前执行jupyter笔记本中的特定单元格

Question

Say I have a main cell in my notebook, lets call in main . I don't want to run a whole bunch of cells each time I use main, but I have to because main depends on the functions in them.

Hence, if main depends on say cells c1 and c2 is there a special magic command or something one can place in c1 and c2 , that tells the notebook to run these before I run main . My notebooks typically contain hundreds of cells, so loading them all from the start is not really an option.

Thanks

PS. I am fully aware that I can take all of this out of notebooks and just import the whole lot. I specifically do not want to do that.

Answer 1

I don't think you can do this without extensions.

Have a look on init_cell extension. It allows you to mark some cells and run them on load\\demand.

Here is the installation instructions .
