package version

nbformat                  5.10.4
nbclient                     0.10.0

here is the code which can reproduce the bug

import nbformat
from nbclient import NotebookClient
def execute_ipynb(ipynb_file):
    with open(ipynb_file, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        nb_node = nbformat.read(f, as_version=4)
    client = NotebookClient(nb_node)

    try:
        with client.setup_kernel():
            info_msg = client.wait_for_reply(client.kc.kernel_info())
            for index, cell in enumerate(nb_node.cells):
                client.execute_cell(cell, index)
    except Exception as e:
        print("An error occurred during notebook execution:{}", e)
ipynb_file = 'test.ipynb'
execute_ipynb(ipynb_file)

execute above python code will sometimes blocks

Reason: If the kernel does not pass in the timeout parameter when calling the poll api, and sends a send message to the shell channel at the same time, it will always be blocked.

i have raise an merge request to fix the issue

jupyter / nbclient
