[FIXED] Reusing code from different IPython notebooks

Issue

I am using IPython and want to run functions from one notebook from another (without cutting and pasting them between different notebooks). Is this possible and reasonably easy to do?

Solution

You can connect with a qtconsole to the same kernel. Just supply this at startup:

ipython qtconsole --existing kernel-0300435c-3d07-4bb6-abda-8952e663ddb7.json

Look at the output after starting the notebook for the long string.
