Install my helper library from the command prompt:

pip install import-ipynb

Import it from your notebook:

import import_ipynb

Now import your .ipynb notebook as if it was a .py file

import TheOtherNotebook

This import-ipynb module is just one file and it strictly adheres to the official howto on the jupyter site.

PS It also supports things like from A import foo, from A import * etc

PPS Works with subdirectories: import A.B

Ok. So, after some struggle and looking around on Internet, and finally found a solution that worked for my sample case.

Firstly, this is the stackoverflow question that was the most helpful to me. Mohideen and Tyhela's answer was the actual solution and not the one with most number of votes.

So, what I did was, I made a folder by the name module and placed all my .ipynb files there. Plus, I created an __init__.py file in that module by using touch __init__.py command such that the import can register it as a valid module. Those guys have given a detailed explanation for it which seems legit.

Then from my working directory I ran the following commands:

str = "Hello Me"
import test.abc as tabc
tabc.prt_n(str)

that gave me Hello Me in the output.

And for,

`import test.efg as tefg`

I got

importing Jupyter notebook from test/efg.ipynb Hello Note

As my desired output.

I hope this will be of help to others who land up on similar problem.

If you have a better approach then I will appreciate if you can share that with me.

Thank you :)
