load notebook as module in ipython

Question

I want to load the content of a notebook as a module in ipython like we do in normal cases. We add a file with the name __init__.py in the directory of the module of interest and that enable us to load it from another python file by doing from fileName import *. Now I can't get it work with ipython. Can anyone help me to figure this out ?

Many thanks.

The notebook format is not Python code. You can convert it using nbconvert, e.g.:

ipython nbconvert --to python notebook.ipynb

I don't want to convert it to python. I wanted simply to add a `notebook` as a module in another `ipython` file. – deltascience Mar 11 '15 at 16:14
If you want to import it, It has to be a Python module, `.py` or the like. – Peter Wood Mar 11 '15 at 16:16
