ranker.score(idx, query) runs indefinitely

[srvchetry]

I am running the search function from my Flask app. The step ranker.score(idx, query) runs indefinitely. Could you please check and help me with any pointers? Thank you.

Dataset used: data.dat attached.

Code:

Issue: The application returns results for a single search currently.
During the second search, the below steps are completed:

1. Index creation
2. Ranker selection
3. User input parsing
   The step ranker.score() runs indefinitely during the second search.
   Workaround: The Flask application requires a restart for checking different queries.

I am seeing this on Python 3.7 as well. According to other students in my class, this functionality works correctly on Python 3.5 (which I will try soon). (Unfortunately, since this is a homework assignment, I cannot provide any more details.)

@mikepigott Did you end up finding a solution? Downgrading to Python 3.5 didn't work for me, unfortunately.

As an update: running my Flask app with the "threaded" flag set to False solved the issue.

I.e., changing: app.run() into app.run(threaded=False) solved my issues.
