Import own Python module on Kaggle

Question

I am new to this and very new to Kaggle.

I am trying to replicate this notebook:

https://www.kaggle.com/bibhash123/chest-x-ray-abnormalities-baseline-tf-keras

There one person wrote a module from utilities_x_ray

https://www.kaggle.com/bibhash123/utilities-x-ray

How to import it? It looks like utilities_x_ray is not directly specified in the second link.

As a result, I get an error

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement utilities_x_ray
ERROR: No matching distribution found for utilities_x_ray

 11 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 12 get_ipython().system('pip install utilities_x_ray')
---> 13 import utilities_x_ray
 14 from utilities_x_ray import read_xray,showXray
 15 from tqdm import tqdm

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utilities_x_ray'

Answer 1

You do not need to pip install the utility file. Rather, just include the utilities_x_ray.py file in the same directory that you run the python notebook.

The python notebook looks for files within the same directory whenever importing as well as those modules that were installed via pip.
