Hi @clentin , did you get an answer to this. Im looking for a similar thing. The api only imports .py as notebooks. I want them to be deployed as file type in workspace

Hi @clentin ,

The steps:

1. Create your .py to be imported as a file and not a notebook
2. In the notebook that uses your .py file append its path to sys.path

@filipniziol @tejaswi24

Sorry to bring this up again, but I'm facing kind of similar problem.

We have Databricks Repos that is a copy of a GitHub repository. The GitHub contains only .py files, but when copied to Databricks, they all get converted to notebooks..Is there a way to choose which files to be and which to not be converted?
I'd like to develop modules in the same repo, but they won't work if they are copied as notebooks..
