How to import "orange" in ipython notebook?

How do I add a module path to a IPython Notebook?

• I have a folder in my project, with ipython notebooks. I need to render them and import other packages in the project that aren't part of the sys.path in the notebook. Different notebooks will import different packages from different places and I don't want/can't add all of them to the global sys.path. Also, I don't want to have to show the sys.path hack in the notebook itself. Do you know of any, per notebook, configuration I can use?

• Answer:

  If by "sys.path hack" you mean appending or inserting to sys.path on notebook initialization, this is not a hack - https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/modules.html#the-module-search-path. About not showing it in the notebook, you can execute JavaScript from markdown blocks; for example, add this to your introduction text block: <script> $(document).ready(function () { $('.code_cell:first').hide(); }); </script> https://gist.github.com/psionski/800775ee36120ea9f3b7, result http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/psionski/800775ee36120ea9f3b7 This will hide the first code block from the notebook, whatever that may be. Set your paths in the first block, then do the imports in another block so they are visible to the readers.
