How to import Python code in src folders when using notebooks?

[davidrpugh]

How do you import python modules defined in the src sub-directories when using Jupyter notebooks residing in the notebook directory?

[davidrpugh]

My current solution is to do the following in the notebooks...

import sys

sys.path.append("..")
from src.data import ???

...where ??? should be replaced by whatever scripts you are importing.

That's the solution we use as well. In next release we could add export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/mnt" as environment variable in the image.

@rkoppula I think it might be better to explicitly document the need to import the scripts as above rather than append the PYTHONPATH variable in the Dockerfile. But perhaps the median user would prefer a solution that makes imports just work as expected.
