I am trying to run the example mentioned in the documents - https://neo4j.com/developer/python/#_resources
class HelloWorldExample:
def __init__(self, uri, user, password):
self.driver = GraphDatabase.driver(uri, auth=(user, password))
def close(self):
self.driver.close()
def print_greeting(self, message):
with self.driver.session() as session:
greeting = session.write_transaction(self._create_and_return_greeting, message)
print(greeting)
@staticmethod
def _create_and_return_greeting(tx, message):
result = tx.run("CREATE (a:Greeting) "
"SET a.message = $message "
"RETURN a.message + ', from node ' + id(a)", message=message)
return result.single()[0]
if __name__ == "__main__":
greeter = HelloWorldExample("bolt://localhost:7687", "neo4j", "password")
greeter.print_greeting("hello, world")
greeter.close()
Error is -

Details:
The driver object was successfully initialized as well as the session object. However the problem is when calling write_transaction. I am not able to understand the source of the problem.
Below is a partial answer — it will work to set your password initially, but you may be unable to change it.
sudo /usr/bin/neo4j-admin set-initial-password YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
.sudo neo4j restart
so it will accept your new password. On debian, if you don't use sudo, it will just time out.Personally, I was able to set my password, but am now unable to change it. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but both the command line and curl reset approaches are reporting success without changing the password, even after a restart.
