I would like to change the path for every notebook that is loaded for an IPython profile. I have the following directory structure on Mac OS X:

/Users/user/project ├── main.py ├── reqs ├── notebooks ├── profile └── ve, requirements.txt...

On this profile, I want to show the user the notebooks that are in the notebook folder, add this root folder to the path, and preload the main and reqs modules there.

I created a profile folder, and I run IPython like so:

$ ./ve/bin/ipython notebook --profile-dir=`pwd`/profile

I added the following to the file profile/startup/00-setup.py

c = get_config() import os, sys # Modify the path to include the core files cur_folder = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) sys.path.append('{}/../..'.format(cur_folder)) # Preload some modules from main import * from reqs import *

But somehow this doesn't have any effects, and I don't see any errors when it launches.

I found the question Change IPython working directory to be relevant, but in my case the path I want to add is different than the notebooks folder.

Thanks
