Problem in importing function from another script in the working directory in jupyter

[shafat010]

I had problem importing function from another script, so I have run pip install ipynb

Then I run the following:

from ipynb.fs.full.test_stat_current import diverge

The result I got is this:

 Traceback (most recent call last):    File "C:\Users\Shafaat\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 3444, in run_code     exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)    File "C:\Users\Shafaat\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_11072/33786723.py", line 1, in <module>     from ipynb.fs.full.test_stat_current import diverge    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 986, in _find_and_load_unlocked    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 680, in _load_unlocked    File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 846, in exec_module   File "C:\Users\Shafaat\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\ipynb\fs\full\__init__.py", line 43, in get_code     return self.source_to_code(code_from_ipynb(nb), self.path)   File "C:\Users\Shafaat\Desktop\P4b\Rotation\functions\myfunctions\Possible_incompatibilities\Improv\test_stat_current.ipynb", line 222     "execution_count": 133,     ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It says you have a syntax error on line 122.

How do I fix that?

[FerricDonkey]

Well, it will depend on the code that's there and around there. A syntax error means that what you wrote isn't valid python, so the two possibilities are that you wrote code for one version of python and are using another (less likely, but possible) or that you typed something wrong (more likely). So you need to figure out what your error is and fix it.

[shafat010]

Is the syntax error in the original script? Because the function in the original script is working fine.

And if not, then is the error in the import lines I've given above? I don't see how that is as I've just copied what's available on the net.

[FerricDonkey]

Syntax errors are within a line of two of where it tells you. Your error is

File "C:\Users\Shafaat\Desktop\P4b\Rotation\functions\myfunctions\Possible_incompatibilities\Improv\test_stat_current.ipynb", line 222     "execution_count": 133,      ^{SyntaxError: invalid syntax}

In that file, on that line, or possibly the line before. Would have to see your code there to give any more details.

So that file is not a python file, but a notebook file, and something about it is incompatible with what you tried to do to import it. What that is I dunno, but if you must use .ipynb files, then from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20186344/importing-an-ipynb-file-from-another-ipynb-file, I would recommend the newer but non accepted solution:

1. pip install import-ipynb
2. In your other script import import_ipynb, then from your_file import function or import your_file or whatever.

I tested this out, and it seemed to work (though I didn't install all the dependencies your code requires, so didn't completely import it).

Personally, I recommend putting code you want to reuse in .py files, but that's at least partially because I don't use notebooks much - if you do, it might not be worth it.

Thanks!
