The reference to recv says that you must be talking about
multiprocessing.Connection rather than sqlite3.Connection.
Since recv raises EORError when done, an alias does not work. Try the
following generator adaptor.
def connect_gen(connection):
try:
while True:
yield connection.recv()
except EOFError:
pass
You could make the above the .__iter__ method of a MyConnecton subclass.
