Now, these come in two flavors, first one is line magics which are denoted by a single % prefix and operate on a single line of input. Now, the second type is called cell magics which are denoted by a double % prefix and operate on multiple lines of input. So first off, we have the % run magic command which is used to run Python script inside the Jupyter Notebook itself. So, to demonstrate this, I have this example.py Python script.
