Hi,
Today's server interruption highlighted that there is no timeout set when connecting to Shotgun. It seems to default to something like 5 minutes.
Also, it seems that because Toolkit has its own version of the API (in core/python/tank_vendor/), it means we could get both API to freeze for 5 minutes.
I looked at the code in shotgun.py and found this:
class _Config(object):
"""Container for the client configuration."""
def __init__(self):
self.timeout_secs = None
Nowhere is this variable then read on a config file or anything. Is there a way to specify a more sensible value than the default?
I ended up hard-coding a 5 seconds timeout so artists would get errors but at least could get some work done.
