Problem with Python runbook on Azure Autmation Accounts: script does not wait for a code to execute (?)

Anonymous

In runbook's code there is a fragment where it installes a python library with pip module. While executing it script should wait until it is done, but it does not. Locally when I run "pip.main(['download', '-d', '.', 'pandas'])" it takes few seconds until it gets executed, in Azure just the beginning of output is shown and then it goes without waiting for it to finish.

The same thing happens when I try to download a file with python's wget package. It seems that azure runtime does not 'wait' and wget.download throws an exception which makes no sense there

And a traceback from wget:

@Anonymous Apologies for late response. Can you please share your runbook code so that I can test it from my end and also are you using Azure Sandbox or Hybrid Worker for execution of runbook?

Sure, that would be better I think if you can have a look at that notebook
https://github.com/azureautomation/runbooks/blob/master/Utility/Python/import_py3package_from_pypi.py, line 96 will be an issue here.
I am using Azure Sandbox.

@Anonymous I have tested it from my end. Using runbook I tried to import pandas package and I was able to download it without any issues. For your reference, adding images related to it.

Output :

Imported Modules :

There were no errors, warnings that were logged. Can you please elaborate your issue if you were prompted with errors?
