Hi 

I have a couple of python functions defined in one notebook that I would
like to reuse in another. I found the following direction.

http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/Notebook/Importing
%20Notebooks.html

https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/docs/source/examples/Noteboo
k/Importing%20Notebooks.ipynb

My challenge is I have a lot of cells that define straight python code.
These cells often load large data files and are very slow. Ideally I would
like to to only import functions. It looks like the heavy lifting is done by
NotebookLoader() bellow. Maybe there is a clever way to only execute
function definitions? Is there a way to get the abstract syntax tree for the
code in a cell and pick out the function definitions?

As a newbie my hack would be to require functions be defined in their own
cell. Next before execute check the cell code for lines beginning with Œdef'

class NotebookLoader(object):
    """Module Loader for Jupyter Notebooks"""
    def __init__(self, path=None):
        self.shell = InteractiveShell.instance()
        self.path = path

    def load_module(self, fullname):
        """import a notebook as a module"""
        path = find_notebook(fullname, self.path)

        print ("importing Jupyter notebook from %s" % path)

        # load the notebook object
        with io.open(path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
            nb = read(f, 4)


        # create the module and add it to sys.modules
        # if name in sys.modules:
        #    return sys.modules[name]
        mod = types.ModuleType(fullname)
        mod.__file__ = path
        mod.__loader__ = self
        mod.__dict__['get_ipython'] = get_ipython
        sys.modules[fullname] = mod

        # extra work to ensure that magics that would affect the user_ns
        # actually affect the notebook module's ns
        save_user_ns = self.shell.user_ns
        self.shell.user_ns = mod.__dict__

        try:
          for cell in nb.cells:
            if cell.cell_type == 'code':
                # transform the input to executable Python
                code =
self.shell.input_transformer_manager.transform_cell(cell.source)
                # run the code in themodule
                exec(code, mod.__dict__)
        finally:
            self.shell.user_ns = save_user_ns
        return mod


P.s. I found Importing%20Notebooks.html
<http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/Notebook/Importin
g%20Notebooks.html>  hard to use. It might be easier of the code as split
out and this notebook and put in the standard distribution of jupyter.  ³how
to import notebooks.ipynb² then becomes 2 lines

Import importNotebookHelper
Import myNotebook

Kind regards

Andy
