Bottle: BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Question

I've written a little Python that is supposed to react to some webhooks by doing some stuff with a LED-Strip. I'm running this on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian using a Xterm window that starts at startup. the program starts and runs fine for a few minutes but then it stops working. I've done some debugging and found that sometimes the program would use 100% on one CPU core, sometimes it spits out the 'BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe' error and sometimes it just doesn't do anything. I've tried running the sending to LED-strip separately and that worked fine. I've also tried using different Bottle servers but also to no avail.

Here is a traceback I found:

*Private IP* - - [25/Mar/2020:17:21:31 +0200] "GET /setcolor/255/0/0 HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "python-requests/2.23.0"

BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Here is the whole program:

import time
import datetime
import magichue
from bottle import route, run

light = magichue.Light('192.168.1.36')


def flash(r, g, b):
    light.mode = magichue.NORMAL
    light.rgb = (0, 0, 0)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    light.rgb = (r, g, b)
    time.sleep(0.4)
    light.rgb = (0, 0, 0)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    light.rgb = (r, g, b)
    time.sleep(0.4)


def fadein(r, g, b, tr=1):
    light.mode = magichue.NORMAL
    while tr <= 25:
        r = r + 10
        g = g + 10
        b = b + 10
        light.rgb = (r, g, b)
        time.sleep(0.5)
        tr = tr + 1
    else:
        light.rgb = (255, 255, 255)


@route('/flashgreen')
def index():
    print("Im here")
    x = datetime.datetime.now()
    if 10 <= x.hour <= 22:
        time.sleep(0.1)
        light.update_status()
        if light.on:
            pr = light.rgb
            flash(0, 255, 0)
            light.rgb = pr
        else:
            flash(0, 255, 0)
            light.on = False


@route('/fadein')
def index():
    print("Im here")
    fadein(0, 0, 0)


@route('/setcolor/<r>/<g>/<b>')
def index(r, g, b):
    print("Im here")
    light.mode = magichue.NORMAL
    light.rgb = (int(r), int(g), int(b))


run(host='0.0.0.0', port=4783, server='paste')

Answer 1

Solved after a lot of debugging, apparently the Magichue library forgets my initial declaration of:

light = magichue.Light('192.168.1.36')

after some time.
