Python bottle process reach timeout connection

Question

I have a problem that after certain amount of time my bottle server is not reachable and you get connection reset- timeout connection error.

When checking if the process is running, I found it running, but after killing the process and running it again the server return to serve requests.

Any idea what it could be? I wrapped most of my functions with exception catching , but didn't helped me to understand the problem. I wonder if anybody has used bottle and had encountered such problem

Answer 1

My guess is because bottle is single threaded, and it's hanging on a request. I would suggest trying a multi-threaded server, such as cherrypy, to see if that resolves the issue. Then go back and see where the hangup was at.

Install cherrypy

pip install cherrypy

Update your python file

bottle.run(myapp, server='cherrypy')

Would need to see more code to identify any specific issue.
