ValueError: Connection Error: failed 31 about pytr HOT 5 CLOSED

Had the same issue today

from pytr.

Hi,
I had this yesterday, but there TR was very slow in the app as well. I think it is a timeout due to TR problems. IMHO TR should get their servers fixed. I „often“ happens, when USA stocks open. As today. I was using the program in the morning german time, I did not have the problem. Did not check this evening.

thanks

Well, turns out i just did not had the newst release, was still at 0.1.5. Upgraded to 0.1.9 and did not had the error anymore.
@fft1010: I tried it with the old release for several times and always got the error quite instant, so i dont know what happend at your end. Are you also on V0.1.9?

Again: I am 99,95% sure, that TR had severe server problems on that day. I tried downloading within 20 minute a couple of times, and it timed out a lot. I than did it one hour later, and it worked.
So either I had network problems (but as it seems other had this problem as well :and: all other big players where reachable fast from my end), or TR had server problems. As this was happening while US stocks opened, and I assume that more people than trade, I would rather buy the stock, that TR had server problems, than there is a bug in pytr.
Except: Maybe there is a nicer way to catch the timeout in a nicer way, than letting the operating system and python do it (and having this "crash").
BUT again: There was a timeout on TR side. Nothing that can be fixed by pytr, only displaying this could be nicer :-)

Other reason why I think it was a TR problem: The Received #1 ... #3 lines usually come within 10 in one second, even more. But when the error came, the lines came ONE LINE every 10 seconds (or worse). So: Network problems somewhere in between my machine and TR.

Other reason why I think it was a TR problem: The APP was slow (still could be my network, but again: All other servers worked like a charm.) The login was "instable",only the brute cashing in the TR APP was showing (old) data. So one could assume, that TR was fine, but it wasn't.

I have just run the update again. It seems that the update to V0.1.9 failed last time. Now with V0.1.9 correctly installed the download works. Thanks for the help!
