importnb Not Working on Jupyter Lab

[Giovanni Armaroli]

Hi I'm new to python and jupyter notebooks and I am trying to use this module to import a ipynb file in another ipynb file. I installed it with conda and I am running it on Jupyter Lab.
I tried to follow your readme but I have problems understanding it and I cannot even get started. In notebook 'A.ipynb' I tried to run:

from importnb import Notebook
Notebook.from_filename('*FULL_PATH*/B.ipynb')

I get the error:

type object 'Notebook' has no attribute 'from_filename'.

I also tried with Notebook.load('*FULL_PATH*/B.ipynb') and this time I don't get any error, but when I call a test function written in B.ipynb from A.ipynb I get an error because the function is not defined.
What am I missing?
Thank you

That may be a typo/change in the docs vs an older version. Try nb = Notebook().from_filename(...) nb.test_function() # should work

No luck, I still get the error 'Notebook' object has no attribute 'from_filename'

Looks like it's just `Notebook.load`, which is part of the test suite. Most of the readme _is_ part of the test suite, but those references were only in markdown code blocks. Sorry for the inconvenience! I was just able to try out `load` on binder, looks fine with an absolute path. We'll update the docs to reflect this: I think the new form is better: shorter, more like what stdlib would do (no doubt it's inheriting that behavior). Cc @tonyfast

Ok thanks!
I summerize for anyone who might have this problem. What works is:

from importnb import Notebook
nb = Notebook().load('*FULL_PATH*/B.ipynb')

Then to call the function test() within B.ipynb the code is: nb.test()
