Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Filnik (filnik) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: getUrl() has a problem. No timeout?
Initial Comment: Hello, I've seen that in my processes there are some scripts that are started something like 1-2 weeks ago that are still running.
The problem is that the function getUrl() of wikipedia.py doesn't raise any error after x time (or, I suppose that's this the reason, otherwise we have a bot that is trying to get a page for 1 week without a specific reason...).
I've not fixed the Bug only because I've no idea how to fix it (I have never handle with HTTP connections directly on python) but Bryan has said:
<Bryan> yes, but that would require you to modify the socket settings <Bryan> sock.settimeout(1500) <Bryan> or you do select.select on the socket <Bryan> which is very hard in pywiki
Some ideas? :-) The 1500 by the way is only a number, we should/can set it on config.py. I've set this bug with high priority because infinite loops on toolserver are really a big problem.
Thanks, Filnik
