My two PCs' configurations: Windows 8.1, Windows 10
Sage version: SageMath 8.3, windows installer 0.4
github.com/sagemath/sage-windows/releases

I want to use a Sage script in a Sage Jupyter Notebook (Jupyter with Sage as a kernel).

I have tried the following procedure:

  1. I put a Sage code (definition of a function) in text file named Script.sage.
  2. In a Jupyter notebook I tried command attach('Script.Sage')
  3. I got a usage error: UsageError: Invalid GUI request 'sage', valid ones are:[None, 'widget', 'qt5', 'qt', 'nbagg', 'osx', 'gtk', 'qt4', 'gtk3', 'notebook', 'tk', 'ipympl', 'inline', 'asyncio', 'wx']

Some advice about where is a problem? What to do? Or is there another procedure how to use a Sage code written in separate files in a Jupyter notebook?

The issue you're getting with attach() looks like a bit of a bug though. I don't think it's particular to Windows either. Even if it is "expected" from a coding perspective it is certainly unexected and unhelpful from a user perspective.

I am not running windows, so i can not test, but the following works on GNU/Linux:

load('/path/to/script.sage')

It is not attached, meaning that when you modify the file, you will have to reload it manually to take changes into account.

Thank you. The command load works in Windows as you described for Linux. It is sufficient for my purposes.

Can anyone explain why load works and attach doesn't?
