How to open a .py file in a new notebook? I know how to create a new notebook from scratch. How to import a local .py file into a notebook? thanks

You can copy/paste it, or you can run a cell containing "%load some_file.py". Sorry, there's no more obvious way to import code from a .py file.

I was so fixated on importing it with menu items and mouse clicks I totally didn't even think of copying and pasting

Hard to believe it cant be imported with menu items. What is the exact syntax for the command to import it programmatically ?

It's documented here: http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/magics.html#magic-load
