New issue 1981: Socket timeouts with the bitcoin-python library https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/1981/socket-timeouts-with-the-bitcoin-python
Ivan Voras: The bitcoin-python library is a relatively thin wrapper over the bitcoind JSON RPC API. However, after performing some operations, it simply hangs / timeouts on random operations when used with pypy (of course, it works on CPython). The library is pure Python and available here: http://laanwj.github.io/bitcoin-python/ (it's normally installable via pip, etc.). The following simple script demonstrates the problem: ``` from time import time import bitcoinrpc conn = bitcoinrpc.connect_to_local() t1 = time() for x in range(1000): # print x tx = conn.getrawtransaction('a79ffa13308ffc5ff5d157f2f86187d48bdff44e09071b808e5ce6eda7468571', 1) t2 = time() print tx print t2 - t1 ``` When run on CPython, it will complete without problems. When run under PyPy, it will hang after about 30 iterations. Unfortunately, running the above code will require that a bitcoin client (qt or cli) is running on the local machine and has RPC enabled, as well as a full database index... _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
