title: How to open .ipynb file in Spyder?
body: <p>without using iSpyder DOS shell commands, how can an .ipynb (Jupyter Notebook) be opened directly into Spyder on Windows? Even the online Jupyter Notebook site prompts for a relative directory path where the file is stored.</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Why isn't there something that just loads the Notebook how it's supposed to look without typing a bunch of directory commands,</li>
  <li>and why does Spyder's RUN button become greyed out when it loads the .ipynb file?</li>
  <li>I have no idea what the .ipynb file format is compared to regular .py files</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Opening lines of the .ipynb when loaded in Spyder are:</p>
  <pre><code>{
   &quot;cells&quot;: [
    {
     &quot;cell_type&quot;: &quot;code&quot;,
     &quot;execution_count&quot;: 1,
     &quot;metadata&quot;: {
      &quot;ExecuteTime&quot;: {
  </code></pre>
  <p>This does not look like python code whatsoever</p>
