I have a file testcong.py which contains various functions I am developing,
while testing them in a jupyter notebook.  The first cell in the notebook
has the "magic" line "%run testcong.py" and so whenever I make a change to
the .py file I have to re-click on that cell.  This gets tedious,
especially when the testing notebook has may cells in it since I am forever
scrolling up and down.

There has to be a better way.  From the command line one can use attach
instead of runfile (which automatically rereads the file when it changes)
but I cannot get that to work, even though there is a magic %attach command:

%attach testcong.py

fails with a weird error message which is incomprehensible to me:

"UsageError: Invalid GUI request 'sage', valid ones are:['osx', 'widget',
'qt5', None, 'qt', 'nbagg', 'gtk', 'qt4', 'gtk3', 'notebook', 'tk',
'ipympl', 'inline', 'asyncio', 'wx']"

while

%attach "testcong.py"

(with quotes) is better, it just cannot find the file (which is in the
current directory, i.e. the one I started the notebook from).  But giving
the full pathname

%attach "/home/jec/congruences/testcong.py"

also gives "IOError: did not find file '/home/jec/congruences/testcong.py"'
to load or attach"

What am I doing wrong?  I did try looking for documentation but failed...
