Thanks David. See inline:

Even just a comment that sometimes commit() can raise errors
and that application-specific re-try logic should be used could be
helpful.

That is precisely why the QP package was written, and
you might want to take a look at it.

Will do.

If the application is designed correctly, there should not be many retries.
The conflicts occur when multiple durus clients are writing
at close to the same time to the same persistent instances.
The altdemo.py is not designed to avoid conflicts.
Among other things, it writes to the session
instance on every request.  If you have multiple clients handling
rapid bursts of requests from the same client, this will tend to
cause conflicts.

In my application's case, the rapid bursts happened due to near simultaneous requests from the browser for static files and also due to near simultaneous ajax requests. As an optimization, I've configured Apache to handle the static media urls. However, a fast succession of ajax requests can be problematic and the only way I can handle that is
by re-trying to commit.

Thanks Gabor! That works.

Neither the Durus README file nor the online FAQs mention anything about re-try 
logic.
