so I am trying to do some background job to run in my flask app , and in order to run the worker, I needed to use cygwin instead of my windows terminal. My application use MongoDb Atlas for documents storage and it works perfectly fine when I "flask run" it from my cmd . But I got the error once I run it or run the worker from cygwin. It is to note that I whitelisted my IP adress and installed the dnspython package , and still got the error. Any suggestions about what could be the problem? I don't seem to find any answer in previous asked questions . Thank you.

not a programming questions so better to use SuperUser. You are not giving us nothing to help you anyway. What python ? Are you mixing cygwin python with settings for not Cygwin one ? Why do you need to run the application under Cygwin ? – matzeri May 09 '20 at 19:09

I am using python 3.7 , and Cygwin Terminal is used because 'RQ' package does not run on the Windows native Python interpreter .It can only be run under Unix emulation layer . – Adil Nouhail May 09 '20 at 21:44

It's because of your dynamic DNS configuration from your ISP. make it static or you can use googleDNS server which is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers.

Man you just saved me. By the why would dynamic DNS config stop MongoDB Atlas to get connected? – Saurabh Mahra Dec 02 '21 at 17:07

1I was wondering if you could expand on this? I'm having the same issue, but I can't figure out why its happening. I can connect to my DB Compass without issue. PyCharm can connect to my DB. but I get the same error above when I try to use pymongo via python script – keynesiancross Jun 13 '22 at 20:20

I hit and resolved this same issue hit today w/ cygwin, python3.8, dnspython 1.16.0 by updating to dnspython 2.0.0 and ensuring there was a valid /etc/resolv.conf in place.
