Importing a function from a .py file

I work in a .ipybn file, but i want to import a function from a .py file.

My code is:

from function1 import my_function

However, I get the following error:

SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

How can I fix this? P.s the files are in the same folder.

You get the error when the file's source code ended before all the blocks in it are completed. For example, if in your file is:

a = input("> ")
if a == 'yes':
print("hello")

As you can see, you tell the program to proceed to print before the if statement is completed.

unexpected EOF while parsing

It was able to open the file, but not parse the content correctly. I would start by checking indentations (spaces vs tabs, # of spaces), quotes, colons.

Something to try is executing python from the command line and importing there. That will eliminate iPython/Jupyter notebook as a variable.
