Panda's Read_Excel function stalling in Docker Container
Fixed,
I wasn't properly logging python exceptions and was missing openpyxl module.
A simple pip install openpyxl fixed it.
I'm running docker-compose that has a php front end for uploading files, python watchdog for monitoring uploads via php and pandas for processing the resulting excel files (and later passed to a neo4j server).
My issue is that when pd.read_excel is reached in python, it just hangs with idle CPU. The read_excel is reading a local file. There are no resulting error messages. When i run the same combo on my host, it works fine. Using ubuntu:focal for base image for the php/python
Anyone run into a similar issue before or what could be the cause? Thanks!
