Python Tool - Timeout waiting for execute reply (30s)

Hello,

I am trying to run checks on my data using the new Python tool. Everything is working as expected when I select a small number of rows, but once I use the whole data (approximately 1M rows) I am getting a timeout error "Timeout waiting for execute reply (30s)". Is there a way to adjust the Python configurations to increase the timeout waiting time?

Thank you.

Hi @Kaloust,

Thank you for posting!

Your issue seems to be caused by the default configuration of Jupyter, the application behind Python tool.

Could you please try the following:

1. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe)

2. Enter the following 2 lines:

if not exist %userprofile%\.jupyter mkdir %userprofile%\.jupyter

echo c.ExecutePreprocessor.timeout = None > %userprofile%\.jupyter\jupyter_nbconvert_config.py

Example:

3. Restart Alteryx Designer

4. Run your workflow again

⚠ Note that this will impact any Jupyter configuration for current user and not just Alteryx Python tool

Kind regards,

@PaulN Is there anyway to change the timeout for a particular app? I've changed the base code so that the default timeout is -1, and now I want a particular app to have a 60 second timeout. I'm running this on the gallery. Is there a way to modify the app so that the python tool in it errors out after 60 seconds?

Thx for solution, @PaulN !

Are there any plans (in development) to change default timeout of Python tool?

Hi,

maybe, now there's a parameters in the Python Tool that resolves this issue, but I found it useful to turn the batch commands in this thread into actual Python code and embed into my work:

import os

path = os.environ['USERPROFILE']+'\.jupyter'

if not os.path.exists(path):
os.makedirs(path)

if not os.path.exists(path+'\jupyter_nbconvert_config.py'):
with open(path+'\jupyter_nbconvert_config.py', "w") as f: # Opens file and casts as f
f.write('c.ExecutePreprocessor.timeout = None\n')
f.close()

file %USERPROFILE%\.jupyter\jupyter_nbconvert_config.py is created only if it doe not already exist.
