I use requests.post(url, headers, timeout=10) and sometimes I received a ReadTimeout exception HTTPSConnectionPool(host='domain.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)
Since I already set timeout as 10 seconds, why am I still receiving a ReadTimeout exception?
Per https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart/#timeouts, that is the expected behavior. As royhowie mentioned, wrap it in a try/except block (e.g.:
try: requests.post(url, headers, timeout=10) except requests.exceptions.Timeout: print "Timeout occurred" )
ReadTimeout exception?. Otherwise just only use try/except and catch all of them.
try: #defined request goes here except requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: # Set up for a retry, or continue in a retry loop You can wrap it like an exception block like this. Since you asked for this only ReadTimeout. Otherwise catch all of them;
try: #defined request goes here except: # Set up for a retry, or continue in a retry loop Another thing you can try is at the end of your code block, include the following:
time.sleep(2) This worked for me. The delay is longer (in seconds) but might help overcome the issue you're having.
time.sleep() for something like this as suspends the thread that it is invoked from. Increasing the timeout is more viable in this case.
