Python soap client - connection having issue

I am using Python soap API client Zeep and here is the code that I have written:

from zeep import Client

def myapi(request):
    client = Client("https://siteURL.asmx?wsdl")
    key = client.service.LogOnUser('myusername', 'mypassord')
    print(key)

it is giving me an error as: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

While I am trying below command the URL works well and shows all the services it has

python -mzeep https://siteURL.asmx?wsdl

Please help to understand what is the reason above code is not working.

PS: I couldn't share site URL which I am trying to connect to.

Additional Info: The site/page is accessible only through intranet and I am testing locally from intranet itself.

Traceback error:

Exception Type: ConnectionError at /music/mypersonalapi/
Exception Value: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='URL I have hidden', port=81): 
Max retries exceeded with url: /ABC/XYZ/Logon.asmx
(Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x0546E770>: 
Failed to establish a new connection:
[WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond',))

Please note: I have removed URL and Host information from my traceback due to confidentiality

Maybe this can help. I had the same connexion problem (Max retries exceeded...). I solved it by increasing the transport timeout.

client = Client(wsdl=wsdl, transport=Transport(session=session, timeout=120))

What this does:

python -mzeep https://site/url.asmx?wsdl

is:

c = Client("https://site/url.asmx?wsdl")
c.wsdl.dump()

both alternatives are using port 443 since that is the default https port.

From your traceback we see

Exception Value: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='URL I have hidden', port=81):

which would have been similar to 

python -mzeep https://site:81/url.asmx?wsdl

I.e. the command line and your code are not connecting to the same address (also note that port values less than 1024 requires system level permissions to use -- in case you're writing/controlling the service too).

The last line does say "..failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time..", but that is not the underlying reason. In line 3 you can read

Max retries exceeded with url: /ABC/XYZ/Logon.asmx

in other words, you've tried (and failed) to log on too many times and the server is probably doubling the time it uses to respond every time you try (a well known mitigation strategy for "things" that fail to login multiple times -- i.e. look like an attack). The extended delay is most likely causing the error message you see at the bottom.

You'll need to wait a while, or reset your account for the service, and if the service is yours then perhaps turn off this feature during development?
