Hi,
I’m pretty inexperienced with Python and Jupyter notebook but I generally manage to get by. This one has me stumped as the various solutions I have found online do not work for me. I might be missing something basic.
My goal is to use a class I’ve defined in notebook self_archiver.ipynb in notebook A.ipynb. Both notebooks are in the same directory.
Not related to the issue I’m facing, but potentially relevant to what solution you suggest, is that the class self_archiver in notebook self_archiver.ipynb uses the following method that is meant to operate on A.ipynb when run from an instance of the class instantiated in A.ipynb.
In definition of class self_archiver:
def savenotebook(self):
Javascript('IPython.notebook.save_notebook()')
The goal of the above method is to save A.ipynb.
I am on Windows 10, running Jupyter Notebook 6.4.8 by executing “Jupyter Notebook (anaconda3)” from the Start menu. sys.version says '3.9.12 (main, Apr 4 2022, 05:22:27) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)]'.
sys.path is:
'D:\\<correct path to A.ipynb>',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\python39.zip',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\DLLs',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3',
'',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\<my username>\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin']
What I’ve tried so far:
import_ipynb:
import import_ipynb
import self_archiver as sa
myArchive = sa.self_archiver()
--------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [17], in <cell line: 4>()
1 import import_ipynb
2 import self_archiver as sa
----> 4 myArchive = sa.self_archiver()
AttributeError: module 'self_archiver' has no attribute 'self_archiver'
--------------------------------------------------
Magic
This takes several seconds to produce the error, and notice how the last line of error output shows it is searching for self_archiver.py, not self_archiver.ipynb.
import ipynbname
myPath = str(ipynbname.path()) + "self_archiver.ipynb"
%run ./self_archiver.ipynb
myArchive = self_archiver()
--------------------------------------------------

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

708 except TypeError:

importnb:
Here I tried making a folder called self_archiver below the one containing A.ipynb, adding self_archiver.ipynb to it, adding an empty __init__.py per some googling I did into the folder, then running:
from importnb import Notebook
with Notebook():
from self_archiver import self_archiver
zzz = self_archiver()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 zzz = self_archiver()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
So… I’m stumped. Any help will be appreciated, and I’m happy to try things you suggest.
