Jetson AGX Orin 64G deployment fails on Python 3.10 due to datetime.UTC and WebSocket timeout/keepalive issues

Author: yujiongzhangCreated Aug 7, 2026Updated Aug 7, 2026

Environment

  • Platform: NVIDIA Jetson
  • Python: 3.10.20
  • OpenPI branch: main
  • Deployment type: Local policy server/client deployment
  • PyTorch: Jetson-compatible GPU build

Summary

When deploying OpenPI on an NVIDIA Jetson device, we encountered two compatibility issues:

  1. datetime.UTC is unavailable in Python 3.10.
  2. The WebSocket client may terminate during slow server startup or long-running inference because of the default timeout and keepalive settings.
