parse-py not pointing to the self-hosted server

[myopicdoll]

Even after setting the env var parsePy doesn't seem to be pointing to self-hosted server based on logs.

root = config.get('parse-db-prod', 'uri_root')
os.environ["PARSE_API_ROOT"] = root

print os.environ.get("PARSE_API_ROOT") # shows the right uri

in a long running batch job it spits out this error:

parse_rest.core.ParseError: {"code":2,"error":"the service is currently unavailable"}

Hi

You must set the environment variable before importing any ParsePy modules (either above your import statements, or within your environment before calling the script).

Hope that helps

Thanks! That worked like a charm. I was importing a couple error stuff from ParsePy query prior to setting the environment variable.
