Access local files from jupyter/scipy-notebook

[Arthur Goldberg]

jupyter/scipy-notebook runs a local server. how does one reference local files in python code in a notebook using jupyter/scipy-notebook?

Arthur,

If your server is running locally and in the same directory as your *.py files, you can import them like you would any other package.

If they are somewhere else, you'll need to append that directory to sys.path -- e.g., import sys; sys.path.append("/path/to/previous/work.py").

Does that answer your question?

If you mean data files, just use an absolute path to the file location. But the user ID which is running the kernel will need to have access to that path and file.
