Description

@dkhokhlov

In [1]: from wolframclient.evaluation import WolframLanguageSession
In [2]: from wolframclient.language import wl, wlexpr
In [3]: session = WolframLanguageSession('/opt/WolframEngine/12.1/Executables/WolframKernel')
In [4]: session.evaluate(wl.WolframAlpha("number of moons of Saturn", "Result"))
<<< hangs here indefinitely

In [5]: session.evaluate(wlexpr('Range[5]'))
<<< hangs here indefinitely

Steps:
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
conda version : 4.8.4
python version : 3.7.7.final.0

  1. install development engine

    I wonder if that could be the same issue as #17. The problem you're facing is similar and you all are running Ubuntu.

    I'm running v12.3 with Python 3.6.9 on Ubuntu.

    The following works:
    session.evaluate(wlexpr('Range[5]'))

    But I can definitely reproduce a hang with:
    session.evaluate(wl.WolframAlpha("number of moons of Saturn", "Result"))

    Notably the following does return an answer, so there might be a separate issue with the second argument of WolframAlpha:
    session.evaluate(wl.WolframAlpha("number of moons of Saturn"))

    Solved one of my hangs:

    In[2]:= WolframAlpha["2+2", "Result"]
    /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.3/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/WolframPlayer: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    

    Solved with:
    sudo apt-get install libasound2

    I assume that libasound2 should be made an explicit dependency, or an instruction listed.

    Here is the list of dependencies that the FrontEnd requires. Any FrontEnd dependent function eventually need them:

    linux-vdso.so.1
    libGL.so.1
    libpthread.so.0
    librt.so.1
    libdl.so.2
    libX11.so.6
    libfontconfig.so.1
    libstdc++.so.6
    libm.so.6
    libc.so.6
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
    libgcc_s.so.1
    libuuid.so.1
    libz.so.1
    libGLX.so.0
    libGLdispatch.so.0
    libasound.so.2
    libxcb.so.1
    libexpat.so.1
    libXext.so.6
    libXau.so.6
    libXdmcp.so.6
    libbsd.so.0
