Python freezes after ftp transfer

voyciz · 07-03-2009, 12:09 AM

Wrote a python script to check for, fetch, and install Slack security fixes. Works fine...except for when the package has a little size on it. Once FTP.retrbinary finishes, it just kinda sits there and acts like it forgot what it was doing, when it should be killing curses and running upgradepkg. This happened before with the Seamonkey package and is now happening again with php, which is only 7 mb. Any ideas?

Without knowing anything about your script, anything about the FTP server or client versions, or what version/distro of Linux you're using, no. All we can really tell from your question, is that you wrote a script, and it doesn't work sometimes....
