+* Python-Rpy2 performance issues with genenetwork2
+
+At one point, genenetwork2 was down. A possible cause was that it
+wrote into the log file in an infinite loop due to rpy2, so a solution
+was to empty it. Currently, as a work around, rpy2 is disabled by
+removing it's imports. This affects WGCNA/ CTL imports and commenting
+out Biweight Midcorrelation option in the trait page. See:

+
+** Reproducing the problem
+
+I went back to commit #b8408cea. With regards to logs, I never
+experienced any log issue. Perhaps it's because of how I start my
+server:
+
+: env SERVER_PORT=5004 TMPDIR=/home/bonface/tmp WEBSERVER_MODE=DEBUG LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG GENENETWORK_FILES=/home/bonface/data/genotype_files/ GN2_PROFILE=/home/bonface/opt/python3-genenetwork2 ./scripts/run_debug.sh
+
+However, when loading the homepage, I occasionally ran into this trace:
+
+#+begin_export ascii
+DEBUG:wqflask.views:.check_access_permissions: @app.before_request check_access_permissions
+DEBUG:wqflask.views:.shutdown_session: remove db_session

+This blocks the flask service. Seems to be related to: [[https://github.com/rpy2/rpy2/issues/769][rpy2-issue#769]]
+and [[https://github.com/rpy2/rpy2/issues/809][rpy2-issue#809]]. I tried to reproduce this problem using some endpoint:
+
+#+begin_src python
+@app.route("/test")
+ def test():
+ from rpy2 import robjects as ro
+ from rpy2 import rinterface
+ from threading import Thread
+
+ def rpy2_init_simple():
+ rinterface.initr_simple()
+
+ thread = Thread(target=rpy2_init_simple)
+ thread.start()
+ return "This is a test after importing rpy2"
+#+end_src
+
+which generates this trace:
+
+#+begin_export ascii
+/home/bonface/opt/python3-genenetwork2/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rpy2/rinterface.py:955: UserWarning: R is not initialized by the main thread.

+ the main thread.
+warnings.warn(
+DEBUG:wqflask.views:.shutdown_session: remove db_session
+
+#+end_export
+
+Modifying the endpoint to:
+
+#+begin_src python
+@app.route("/test")
+ def test():
+ import wqflask.correlation.show_corr_results
+ import wqflask.ctl.ctl_analysis
+ import time
+ from wqflask.correlation.correlation_functions import cal_zero_order_corr_for_tiss
+
+ print("Sleeping for 3 seconds")
+ time.sleep(3)
+ return "This is a test after importing rpy2"
+#+end_src
+
+and refreshing the page a couple of times, I get:

+#+begin_export ascii

+
+However, this seems to be non-deterministic, in the sense that I can't really pin what causes the above. I've tried to write a Locust Test that simulates users hitting that endpoint:
+
+#+begin_src python
+"""Load test a single trait page"""
+from locust import HttpUser, task, between
+
+
+ class LoadTest(HttpUser):
+ wait_time = between(1, 2.5)
+
+ @task
+ def fetch_trait(self):
+ """Fetch a single trait"""
+ self.client.get("/test")
+#+end_src
