Ok I see. Actually can `client.env.EnvPut*` modify any of the settings after the library is loaded? I know in the past I had to change some env vars prior to first load. Now the script ```py from XRootD import client import time fs = client.FileSystem("localhost:9999") tic = time.monotonic() status, _ = fs.ping(1) toc = time.monotonic() print(f"Got status {status} in {toc-tic:.3f}s") client.env.EnvPutInt("TimeoutResolution", 5) tic = time.monotonic() status, _ = fs.ping(1) toc = time.monotonic() print(f"Got status {status} in {toc-tic:.3f}s") tic = time.monotonic() status, _ = fs.ping(10) toc = time.monotonic() print(f"Got status {status} in {toc-tic:.3f}s") ``` returns ``` Got status [ERROR] Operation expired in 15.031s Got status [ERROR] Operation expired in 15.050s Got status [ERROR] Operation expired in 10.029s ``` so I'm not quite sure when it updates the var but it happens eventually -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/1735#issuecomment-1194320638 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
