Import Utils package missing

Short Course Q&A Building Systems with the ChatGPT API

For the L7_student.ipynb, there is reference to importing utils, which has function like: utils.find_category_and_product_only(). Could you elaborate where we could get this package?

import utils
import panel as pn # GUI

Maybe try opening the File menu.

on the online Jupyter Notebook, click “file-open”, and you can see the utils.py file.
tick it and click “download”, then you can download it to your own computer.

how do I import the utils.py file into my current Jupyter notebook session (the notebook with the actual lesson code)? Appreciate inputs. Thanks.

I got it. The below works.

import sys 
import os
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('/my_folder_path'))

import utils

I encounter the same problem. I downloaded utils.py. What next to run the python notebook locally on my laptop?

To the best of my understanding of what your query is, guess you need to execute the below too.

import utils

then run the codes given by the video.
