Unable to Run notebooks on COlab

For notebooks in part 2, I have been using Colab.

I put the notes here:

qcai2002/FastaiNotes/blob/master/colab.txt

https://course.fast.ai/start_colab.html
has excellent instructions.

Since each notebook imports the library built in previous notebooks, start with 00_exports.ipynb

Here are the steps:
1) Sign into google drive 

2) go to Colab welcome page
https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/welcome.ipynb#recent=true

3) Click github tub then paste this url: 
https://github.com/fastai/fastai_docs/blob/master/dev_course/dl2/00_exports.ipynb

4) Select 00_exports.ipynb, click “File -> save a copy in drive”. The newly saved copy is automatically named 
“Copy of 00_exports.ipynb”. 
Close the original copy. Rename the newly saved copy to the original name, i.e. remove the “Copy of “ from the file name. 
This is because the end of the notebook has this line:
!python notebook2script.py 00_exports.ipynb 
If we have a different file name, it’ll say “can’t find notebook 00_exports.ipynb”

This file has been truncated. show original
