Python consol error: "Failed to read servers response: Connection refused: connect"

Question

Python consol error:

"Failed to read servers response: Connection refused: connect"

What exactly does this mean when executing script in the python consol?

Is it referring to geometry not being properly connected and therefore called?

Im not totally new to python, but I am within the city-engine environment

Any hints most welcome. Thanks.

Hello Peter

Generally Python 2.7 coming with CityEngine does support network connections.

Scripts can have access to CityEngine functionally via Python Scripting

The error message seems to come from the Python script you are using that is trying to make a connection to a server.

For help on these topics I usually search Overview — Python 2.7.12 documentation or Stack Overflow.
