max_val=1.0, units=nidaqmx.constants.TimeUnits.SECONDS,
first_edge=nidaqmx.constants.Edge.RISING,

print("\n\nPython version: {}".format(sys.version))

print(os.system('python -m pip list'))

print('\nPerforming sample read .... This will eventually \"Time out\": ')

data = ""
data = task.read()
print(data)

The code DOES work, The reported problem was due to insufficient pre-conditioning of data for the sensor that was attached.  (Nothing wrong with the code)
