I want to explore and edit my .py files (python scripts) in the form of colab notebook. I already the uploaded my files in google drive and mounted in the environment. I can edit the file in the right pane but I want to open it as a notebook. I search the web but I couldn't find any solution for that. Is there any way to do so?

You need to upload your code as a .ipynb in order for colab to open it as a notebook or create a new colaboratory in your drive and post your code to it

EDIT: Alternatively you could create a Colaboratory and import your .py like this:

import importlib.util
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("test1.moduleName", "/content/drive/MyDrive/Colab Notebooks/test1.py")
foo = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(foo)
foo.MyClass()

Let's say your file is script.py. You can use %%writefile script.py to edit your script.py inside the cell of jupyter notebook.

%writefile [-a] filename

Write the contents of the cell to a file.

The file will be overwritten unless the -a (--append) flag is specified.

positional arguments:
  filename      file to write

optional arguments:
  -a, --append  Append contents of the cell to an existing file. The file will
                be created if it does not exist.

To read it, use !cat.

!cat script.py
