Suppose I have a code snippet that I'd like to run every time I open a jupyter notebook (in my case it's opening up a Spark connection). Let's say I save that code in a .py script:
-- startup.py --
sc = "This is a spark connection"
I want to be able to have that code snippet run every time I open a kernel. I've found some stuff about the Jupyter Configuration File, but it doesn't seem like variables defined there show up when I try to run
print(sc)
in a notebook. Is there a command-line option that I could use -- something like:
jupyter notebook --startup-script startup.py
or do I have to include something like
from startup import sc, sqlContext
in all of the notebooks where I want those variables to be defined?

I'd recommend to create a startup file as you suggested, and include it via
%load ~/.jupyter/startup.py
This will paste the content of the file into the cell, which you can then execute.
Alternatively, you can write a minimal, installable package that contains all your startup code.
Pro: Doesn't clutter your notebook
Con: More difficult to make small changes.
