WLST deploy does not activate

Question

I'm running into a problem where I use WLST (weblogic 10.1) to deploy a series of apps and libs, and on certain files (happens with both apps and libs) the deploy command doesn't activate. To the user it appears the script is hung, and the solution is to login to the admin console (as the same user WLST is connected) and press the Activate button. Below is a snippet of debug for a failed lib:

Basically my script takes 1 or more app/lib names, and in turnss calls an undeploy and then deploy on each one. I've tried putting in some sleeps and re-arranging the order of the apps and libs, but without fail I always get some that get "stuck". Any help would be appreciated.

Update: The problem was due to an edit session being left behind if one of the apps/libs failed. The fix is better error handling to end the edit session:
stopEdit('y')

Answer 1

check whether the change is activated
configManager = getConfigManager()
try:
     configManager.getChanges()
     isLocked = true
except:
     isLocked = false
....
