import error for arcpy.mapping module in jupyter notebook

I have using arcpy with Jupyter notebook for last few months and all the modules work fine except arcpy.mapping. Here is what happening:

When I write:

import arcpy
from arcpy import mapping
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("R:/CourseData//Exercise1/road.mxd")

it gives me the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-d75a1b04e4b6> in <module>()      
1 import arcpy
----> 2 from arcpy import mapping      
3 mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("R:/CourseData//Exercise1/road.mxd")
ImportError: cannot import name 'mapping'

When I write:

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("R:/CourseData//Exercise1/road.mxd")

it gives me:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-099b6ea15d97> in <module>()      
1 import arcpy
----> 2 mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("R:/CourseData//Exercise1/road.mxd")

AttributeError: module 'arcpy' has no attribute 'mapping'

Any thoughts?

sounds like you are connecting to the arcpy for ArcGIS Pro (and python 3.x) because 'mapping' is now 'mp'

Introduction to arcpy.mp—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop

You will have to edit your references to the old mapping module to replicate what you can in the new mp version
