We should clearly document the fact that the module level attribute serves as default value for new connections - it should really only be set right after importing the module or before opening any connections. > If this feature is kept, it should be a class attribute, not a module > attribute.

It also introduces problems with the notion of connection objects always having an open transaction and be a significant change in the API. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 17 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2013-05-07: Released mxODBC Zope DA 2.1.2 ... http://egenix.com/go46 2013-05-06: Released mxODBC 3.2.3 ... http://egenix.com/go45 ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
