I want my notebooks cells to run until completion, no matter how long that takes.\r\n\r\nI'd venture further and propose that the default should be to have no timeout. As the notebook ecosystem progresses, I expect people to want to automate their analysis pipelines, which will include notebooks. When you're using nbconvert to run all inplace, the timeout is unwanted. It's as if `python script.py` had a timeout enabled by default."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jupyter/nbconvert/issues/comments/188939857","html_url":"https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/issues/256#issuecomment-188939857","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jupyter/nbconvert/issues/256","id":188939857,"user":{"login":"dhimmel","id":1117703,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1117703?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel","html_url":"https://github.com/dhimmel","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhimmel/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-25T19:23:41Z","updated_at":"2016-02-25T19:23:41Z","body":"> A 0 timeout, while weird at a level like this, does make sense as meaning \"Don't wait at all\"\r\n\r\nI see how 0 meaning no wait is the most intuitive behavior and also a potentially valuable option in certain situations.\r\n\r\n> OK, then I'd be in favour of just documenting the behaviour with -1.\r\n\r\nAgreed, I can close the issue once the documentation is updated to specify this option."}}
