Importing custom module into jupyter notebook

Question

Yes, I know this is a recurrent question but I still couldn\'t find a convincing answer. I even read at https://chrisyeh96.github.io/2017/08/08/definitive-guide-python-imports.h

Answer 1

If you move the notebooks directory out one level, and then explicitly import your module from the package, that should do it. So your directory would look like this:

my_project/
│
├── my_project/
│   ├── __init__.py       
│   └── helpers.py
├── notebooks/
│   └── a_notebook.ipynb
...

and then your import statement within the notebook would be:

from my_project import helpers.
