Importing a .ipynb file as a module to another python file

Question

I have a file called orbital.ipynb (in jupyter notebooks) .

I'm currently working on a new file called OrbitalStockSelector , and I'd like to import the orbital.ipynb file to the new file.

I've tried changing the extension to .py , using import_module(orbital) but have not been able to succeed. I get:

 ImportError: No module named orbital

`.ipynb` files are *not python source code*, you will have to convert it into source-code. — juanpa.arrivillaga, Aug 09 '17 at 19:18

.ipynb files are not valid python modules. They use a custom format to store the code and output. To use your code, you would need to move it to a valid .py file that is importable

I used !ipython nbconvert --to=python config_template.ipynb in the notebook – thomas.mac Aug 09 '17 at 19:33
