ipython/jupyter issue [Was: RuntimeError: Kernel died before replying to kernel_info (#4116)]

2017-11-09 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi,

statsmodels upstream claims that #880245 is a ipython/jupyter issue.

Is there anybody with some knowledge and knows how to fix this issue?

Kind regards

   Andreas.

This is a ipython/jupyter issue, and not related to statsmodels. You can ask at 
their issue tracker.

I just built statsmodels 0.8.0-6 in and amd64 sbuild chroot without
encountering this issue.

Looking at the trace in #880245, it looks like the key error is

zmq.error.ZMQError: Address already in use

and the other

RuntimeError: Kernel died before replying to kernel_info

are just caused by the other process not being able to communicate. My
guess is that this is an environment heisenbug - container network
issues/socket exhaustion...

It might be possible to get `ExecutePreprocessor` in
`tools/nbgenerate.py` to use IPC instead of TCP transport, which might
be more reliable for this sort of use (although it probably doesn't get
tested as much, so might have its own problems); this is a supported
option when invoking some CLI tools (eg, `jupyter console --transport
ipc --kernel python3`), but it's not obvious to me how to do it in this
case.
