Sample2markers.py would not close when done

I run the sample code in here: StrainPhlAn3 · biobakery/biobakery Wiki · GitHub

 mkdir consensus_markers
 sample2markers.py -i sams_simplified/*.sam.bz2 -o consensus_markers --nproc 4

when it’s done (files are generated and would not change in size), the job continues to be active and does not end itself.

I use my own files altogether using the above script. same problem of not ending itself occurred. I then tried my files one by one in a loop, the loop is stuck after the first file is processed.

any idea?
