TimeoutError when commit sending transactions

[NanPhi]

• bigchaindb-driver version: v0.5.3
• bigchaindb server version (bigchaindb -v): v2.0.0b6
• Python version:3.6.6
• Operating System: Ubuntu18.04

Description

I used bigchaindb to set up a local bigchaindb server with only one node in my machine. Then I followed the tutorial of the Basic Usage Examples http://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/py-driver/en/latest/usage.html, however when I went into the step

sent_creation_tx = bdb.transactions.send_commit(fulfilled_creation_tx)

a TimeoutError came up

What I Did

In [22]: sent_creation_tx = bdb.transactions.send_commit(fulfilled_creation_tx)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TimeoutError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

Hey @NanPhi Did you follow these instructions to set everything up?

Hey @codegeschrei

Vielen Dank fuer den Vorschlag. I thought it was because of my unfinished bigchaindb network.
