its in the __del__ method of ConnectionFairy in pool.py, which can be propigated out to whatever other connection-holding object there is (such as this one i am still coming up with). so "del connection" is how to force the reference count down to zero. but if jython isnt going to work predictably with that either, i can add an explicit close() to do the same thing. one nice thing about "del" is that if the connection object is still held somewhere, it stays around until everyone lets go.
