A python package providing an easy way to explicitly import Jupyter Notebooks files (.ipynb) the same way you would import regular .py files.

You can install ipynb with:

pip install ipynb

You can do a 'full' import - this has the same semantics of importing a .py file. All the code in the .ipynb file is executed, and classes/functions/variables in the top level are available for use.

If you have a notebook file named server.ipynb, you can import it via:

import ipynb.fs.full.server

You can use the from ... import .. too.

from ipynb.fs.full.server import X, Y, X

Sometimes your notebook has been used as a way to run an analysis or other computation, and you only want to import the functions / classes defined in it - and not the extra statements you have in there. This can be accomplished via ipynb.fs.defs.

If you have a notebook file named server.ipynb, and do:

import ipynb.fs.defs.server

It'll only execute and make available the following parts of the code in server.ipynb:

• class definitions
• def function definitions
• import statements
• Assignment statements where the variables being assigned to are ALL_CAPS. These are assumed to be constants.

This skips most computational work and brings in your definitions only, making it easy to reuse functions / classes across similar analyses.
