I have a simple python script that just adds a VM, waits for it to go active, then deletes it and waits for it to be purged. The app run flask to create a sort of proxy agent to Rancher. The good news is that Rancher seems to handle the requests well. I’ve run it many times, and Rancher does not appear to fail.
However, the first version of this script was a python 2 app. After a few iterations, the screen would be filled with garbage. Based on some guidance I found on unicode handling in Python, I switched to python 3 and I was able to see the readable text.
I don’t know if I care about this stuff or not. Please, advise.
There are a lot more of these sort messages but here is a sample from my screen.
