14:40 <Andrew> hey there

14:40 <Andrew> I am running through the installation instructions for python: (https://docs.wallaroolabs.com/book/appendix/virtualenv.html)

14:41 <SeanTAllen> Hi Andrew!

14:42 <Andrew> I am running the very last part and keep getting this error for connecting the second application TCPSink connection failed

14:42 <SeanTAllen> What's the error?

14:45 <Andrew> |~~ INIT PHASE II: Application is initialized! ~~| TCPSink initializing connection to 127.0.0.1:5555 TCPSink connection failed

14:46 <SeanTAllen> did you start up something to act as a sink for the application?

14:47 <SeanTAllen> something like this in another shell for example...

14:47 <SeanTAllen> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/qU5aCbEx/

14:49 <SeanTAllen> the virtual env instructions dont contain info on how to do a complete environment setup with senders and receivers so that bit is missing

14:49 <SeanTAllen> based on the message you posted, it is working fine except it is waiting for a sink to be started listeing on 127.0.0.1 port 5555 so it wouldn't start processing until the sink is in place.

14:56 <SeanTAllen> Andrew: I've opened an issue for clarifying that in the documentation. https://github.com/WallarooLabs/wallaroo/issues/2128

15:01 <strmpnk> Good catch Andrew. I'll take a pass on that documentation today. Let me know if you run into any more confusion or have suggestions to improve the documentation.

16:21 <Andrew> Awesome, I am now able to get the word_count application running.

16:22 <SeanTAllen> Great.

16:22 <SeanTAllen> Sorry for the confusion

16:22 <Andrew> I love your example video with autoscaling feature on word_count. Is it possible to replicate this on my machine?

16:23 <SeanTAllen> You should be able to the demonstration app is in /demos/python_word_count
