But somehow credential_builder.py could not finish writing the id file. The file was created with zero byte, but still was zero byte, after a long wait time.

debug shows credential_builder.py got stuck at line 121 cef.MessageLoop():

   120      browser.SetClientHandler(handler)
   121      cef.MessageLoop()  <--- 
   122      cef.Shutdown()

I am running latest cefpython3

tools $ pip3 freeze | grep cefpython3
cefpython3==66.0

The above issue still exists. But found a work around. For anyone who experiences similar issue in the future, here is what I did to work around the issue.

Use pdb module, pause and get the TD authorization code out before program hangs in RequestHandler(). Dumped code to a temp file. By reading in the code from temp file, and bypassing the hung part in main(), managed getting the credential ID.
