[Python] Firebase admin taking an infinite time to work

I recently started using firebase admin in python. I created this example script:

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import firestore

cred = credentials.Certificate("./services.json")
options = {
"databaseURL": 'https://not_revealing_my_url.com'
}
app = firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred, options)

client = firestore.client(app)
print(client.document("/").get())


I already activated firestore and I placed services.json (which I genrated from "Service Accounts" on my firebase project) in the same directory as my main.py file.

From all sources I could find, this should've allowed me to use firestore, but for some reason the app takes an infinite long time to respond.

I tried looking through the stack after Interrupting the script, and the only major thing I could find was:

grpc._channel._MultiThreadedRendezvous: <_MultiThreadedRendezvous of RPC that terminated with:
status = StatusCode.UNAVAILABLE
details = "failed to connect to all addresses; last error: UNKNOWN: ipv6:%5B::1%5D:8081: tcp handshaker shutdown"
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer {grpc_message:"failed to connect to all addresses; last error: UNKNOWN: ipv6:%5B::1%5D:8081: tcp handshaker shutdown", grpc_status:14, created_time:"2025-05-11T08:47:32.8676384+00:00"}"


I am assuming this is a common issue, but I failed to find any solution online, can someone help me out?

EDIT: I had firebase emulator working from a previous job, It seems firebase_admin tried using firebase emulator which was inactive. I just had to remove it from my PATH
