How can i change the import timeout limit (python2.7 and oct2py)

I am trying to import octave, but it timeouts; not always but most of the time. Is there any solution? How can i change the timeout-limit of the import command? In my script i have only the following line:

from oct2py import octave

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    from oct2py import octave

As OP mentioned, that exception is from oct2py, MonkeyPatching would be one of the way to solve this problem.

To try out the fix, you can go to following line of code and add timeout=None as param

In your local file system, /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/metakernel/replwrap.py Line 119.

Github link for same source here.

Looks like you are using pexpect which is raising Timeout.

As per documentation form pexpect, you can control the timeout behaviour -

child.expect(pexpect.EOF, timeout=None)
