some of that code looks a little weird, you've got "runs a statement and 
returns one result", but it appears to return the whole result set from 
execute() - but then you call close() on it, which means you won't be able to 
get any rows from it.  so I'm guessing that's not the actual code.
  
the specifics of how you deal with these result sets, which you're getting via 
a method SQLA calls "connectionless, implicit execution", would determine if 
connections are staying open too long or not.  If you get a result from 
execute(), then fetch a few rows from it, then forget about it, the connection 
for that result is still checked out from the pool and reserved for that result 
for any amount of time, until the result object is garbage collected.  

So you want to make sure the result objects get closed out in all cases, which 
usually means calling fetchall() on them or otherwise getting all results 
unconditionally.   

then you might want to reduce that number of connections down, 20 is quite 
high, and if you dont want connections to be open at all when the pool is 
dormant, use NullPool.   More details at
