There are some magic functions in Jupyter that allow you to load functions, code from another notebook or script.
For example if you have a function in a Jupyter notebook, you can load the code into a cell of another Jupyter notebook.
-
The magic function
%load
will replace the contents of a cell with an external script, either from a local source or from a URL. -
%%writefile
can be used to save the contents of a cell in a notebook to an external file. -
%pycat
will show the contents of another Python file in a popup -
%run
can run the contents of another file.
