How to run a executable file on Jupyter Notebook?

[Kevin Le]

I am still new to using Jupyter Notebook on an Ubuntu Gnome distribution and I wanted to know how to run an python executable created from pyinstaller.

Here are some of the commands I've tried to use on Jupyter Notebook, but I always get an syntaxerror when I try to run them. However, these 
commands work on a terminal and these files do have permission to be executed. 

ls

log_X.txt  log_Y.txt  play_X*  play_Y*  Untitled1.ipynb  Untitled.ipynb

 

/home/kevin/Desktop/executables/play_X

  File "<ipython-input-2-ac9c760b354d>", line 1
    home(/kevin/Desktop/executables/play_X)
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

./play_X

  File "<ipython-input-1-cf87a64c1b20>", line 1
    ./play_X
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The commands to run the executable are shell commands, not IPython commands. You can run a shell command in IPython by starting a line with !

However, if you want to run things from a notebook, you shouldn't need to make an executable with Pyinstaller. You can run a Python script file with:

%run foo.py

Or you can import it and call functions it defines:

import foo

foo.bar()
