Deadline force pythonsync to... sync

Deadline
1

Hi, my question is related to the deadline/SSL/Shotgun issue (see Uploading Quicktimes to Shotgun from Deadline and shotgun AWS SSL update)

I am trying to update the shotgun_api3 library. And I would like to know if there was a way to update the pythonsync.zip then force all slaves to sync ?

I updated the zip from my deadline repository with the fixed version of the library, but its does not seem to propagate. I find it a bit shaky that deadline bundles all these third party libraries with no control whatsoever for advanced users.
In my custom event, I tried replacing sys.modules[“shotgun_api3”] with a manually loaded version, with no dice. Since deadline also bundles it’s own version of every modules of the std lib, we can never know what’s really going on.
The only way I can think of to really control my environment is to spawn a subprocess from my event, but it feels really convoluted.

Any tips would be welcome !

Cheers,
Alexis

In my experience/troubleshooting, messing with all of that seemed pretty dangerous and like it would take out my entire farm. We were on tight deadlines so I did not mess with much of that. In fact I wasn’t even aware that deadline shipped the sg api within the repo/python synch until someone either mentioned it there, or the SG dev google group ( I forget where). All I had to do, to fix this in our piepline, was just push out the CA cert to my Deadline Slaves. After that everything worked/seemed fine.

Trying the SHOTGUN_API_CACERTS env variable actually made things worse for me. Rendering wouldn’t even work, and Nuke would even error our on the same SSL bits that our Python Upload script would. I mistakenly pushed it out to an artist workstation through a Group Policy Object, and then the end user couldn’t even login to Shotgun Desktop.

I wouldn’t worry about updating the api library unless you or your studios pipeline absolutely need to. Wondering what deadlines 2 cents here is as well though. Cheers!

Thx for your input Daniel. I spent too much time on this, I guess I’l have to let SysAdmin take care of that.
But this is quite frustrating :slight_smile:

Whole heatedly agree on the frustration! This one nearly drove me insane, spent too much time in my opinion as well. Fortunately I am so the sole SysAdmin and managed to not break our entire pipeline amidst troubleshooting this.
Glad Shotgun provided a fix, but there are many bits and pieces to this, deadlines pythonsynch being one of them.

For possibly your SysAdmins reference here is what I was seeing after pointing an ENV Variable to a “good/up to date list of certs” - More errors, but this time not about SSL verification.

Looks like deadline didn’t like the ciphers, or something, possibly the api in python synch was overriding this??
