I am trying to access functions in my coreapi.py by importing in the main notebook, but I have error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coreapi'. I tried by uploading the file into the same folder and I tried creating a python egg and uploading it. How can i import my python library?

Hi @Jon, you need to install the library on the cluster. Please refer to the below document.

When you go to cluster to edit or you edit individual task you can add own library:image

There is also the possibility to use Repos file functionality:
