Sometimes you need relative imports in a notebook ...

relative_imports_notebook.md

Given this directory structure

project
├── utils
│   └── module.py
└── notebooks
    └── notebook.ipynb

and that you want to import module.py in notebook.ipynb. Add the directory path to the notebook like so,

import os, sys
directory_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join('..'))
if directory_path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(directory_path)

And then from within notebook.ipynb you can import module.py like so:

from utils.module import my_func

This address the issue of ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package found when running notebooks. Ref:
