I downloaded every lesson to my local machine and realized some helper modules were embedded within the class’s scope, particularly the line “from helper import load\_image\_from\_url, render\_results\_in\_image”. Is it possible for me to gain access to these modules?

HI pleomax, i did that but still get `cat: helper.py: No such file or directory`, any help would be kind!  
here is my code

```auto
!sudo apt-get install python-espeak
!sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install espeak
!cat helper.py

```

I also tried `!pip install helper`, but still no fix  
i got following

````Requirement
Requirement already satisfied: pyyaml in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages (from helper) (6.0.1)
cat: helper.py: No such file or directory```
````

Sorry, forgot to mention that you should run the `!cat helper.py` in deeplearning.AI online notebook and copy paste the code to your local machine.

If, in the online notebook, you do:  
File-\> Open, a Jupyter mngmnt. page opens, where you find helper.py, You can copy the functions defined there in your local notebook.
