py2neo 2.0: ERROR:httpstream:! SocketError: timed out
neo4j, py2neo
Solution
There's currently no way to adjust the timeout for individual queries as this setting applies at a connection level and one connection can obviously be used for many queries. The `socket_timeout` you're using is the correct way to adjust the timeout globally though.
Problem
I execute a long running (5 mintues) Cypher query with py2neo 2.0: `graph.cypher.run(query)` or `result = graph.cypher.execute(query)` The query fails after ~60 sec with a Socket Error from httpstream: `ERROR:httpstream:! SocketError: timed out` The same happens when I use a Cypher transaction. This did not happen with the same query and py2neo 1.6.4. Can I increase the time py2neo waits for a response? I didn't find anything in the docs. Update I found a hard coded `socket_timeout` in `py2neo.packages.httpstream.http`. Setting it to a higher value avoids the SocketError: ``` from py2neo.packages.httpstream import http http.socket_timeout = 9999 result = graph.cypher.execute("MATCH (g:Gene) RETURN count(g)") ``` Can I somehow set the timeout for a single query?
