error uploading file to google drive with python

Question

I wrote a code to upload (create and update) a file to google drive, in Windows 10 with python 3.9 it work, but in windows 2008 server with python 3.8 it give me an error.

just to remember 3.8 is the max version that supports windows 2008

if I try to list from gdrive it work, the problem is just to create or update the file. just to remember 3.8 is the last python version that supports windows 2008. I suspect its related with windows 2008 and ssl maybe!?!?

the error is this:

Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers. See: How to create a Minimal, Reproducible example. — Norhther

the error occurs on file = service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media).execute() trying breaking each step down and trying it individually? to see clearly where the error is coming from because that single lin has multiple dot operators so it is unclear where the error in that line is occuing. — Andrew Ryan

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community

Curious. The library supports Only python 3.7 and newer is supported. so with 3.8 you should be good. Sounds like a networking error to me found this #632 and this 1080 — Linda Lawton - DaImTo

Well it works now, as @DaImTo poited to the issue #632 in the google api github, it is not a problem with the api. The problem is that the socket core module has low default timeout. The pc with windows server 2008 that I was using was very slow and was hiting this default timeout, so I just had rise the default timeout by inserting the code in the beginin of the script:

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(600)
