import file from same directory using "sys.path.append" in Jupyter Notebook

Question

I am using Jupyter Notebook. I tried to read this question which was really close to my problem, but I couldn't picture the directory tree of the questioner, so I couldn't apply the answer as well.

I read this, this & this. Applied all the solutions but no luck.

My directory tree:

The path from home to training_single_neuron:

home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron

── training_single_neuron

    ├── activation.py.ipynb

    ├── bias.ipynb

    ├── Car maintenance cost prediction.ipynb

    ├── Cost_function.py.ipynb

    ├── first_network.py.ipynb

    ├── flowerdata.py.ipynb

    ├── flower.py.ipynb

    ├── Gradient_descent.ipynb

    └── Normalization.ipyn

In flowerdata.py I stored all the data. I want to use data in flower.py. I tried to import flowerdata in flower.py. But, I always get an error messages.

The ways I tried:

1.

import flowerdata as data

error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flowerdata'

2.

import sys
sys.path.append("home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron")
from training_single_neuron import flowerdata

error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'training_single_neuron'

3.

import sys
sys.path.append("/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron")
from training_single_neuron import flowerdata

error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'training_single_neuron'

4.

import sys
sys.path.insert(1, "/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/")
from training_single_neuron import flowerdata

error: No module named 'training_single_neuron'

5.

import sys
sys.path.append("home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron")
from training_single_neuron.flowerdata import data

error: No module named 'training_single_neuron'

I get the same error, does not matter in what way I try to import.

I tried to print the path in sys included using;

sys.path

It seems like my directory path is included several times

Output shows:

['/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/',
 '/home/pc/installed-programs/pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python37.zip',
 '/home/pc/installed-programs/pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python3.7',
 '/home/pc/installed-programs/pyenv/versions/3.7.3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/',
 'home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/',
 'home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 'home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 'home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron/',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 '/home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron',
 'home/pc/python-projects/deep_learning/training_single_neuron']

What I am missing here? Could anyone please help me to understand the issue?

THe data you want to import needs to have a `.py` extension. You cannot import from notbook files or those with an `.ipynb` extensioin — Alexander, Aug 22 '22 at 05:25
@Alexander I got the point. Is there any way I could use .ipynb file in other .ipynb file? — F.C. Akhi, Aug 22 '22 at 06:30
@Alexander thank you for giving me hints. The problem is resolved. — F.C. Akhi, Aug 22 '22 at 06:39

I found the solution. As .ipynb is not a module but notebooks. Importing any module as I tried in several ways does not work. To import a notebook we need to use below code.

%run flowerdata.py.ipynb
