I've rewritten DBPool.py to properly implement the "State" pattern of interface/implementation separation. I did this to make it easier to add additional methods to the implementations, and also tidy up the code.
At the same time, I'm also meshing all the code people have submitted at various times to implement multiple, configurable DB pools. I've also added methods to make the use of connections and transactions more convenient. When I'm done, I'll submit it as a replacement for DBPool (probably to be called DBCore) if people want it. All this shuffling and rewriting of code brings up a question of etiquette and "rightness"--how do I properly attribute the code to the various authors given that the code has been pushed around quite a bit in spots, but not too much in other spots? The same question applies to comments (since I've added, deleted, edited comments to make them clearer? My original intent was to add an orderly way to close all connection in each pool when a pool instance is deleted. However, I've found that once a connection has been assigned out, there's not much that can be done to close the connection until it is voluntarily returned to the pool. I.e., it doesn't seem to be possible to hijack a connection that is in use. Could somebody confirm this? If this is true, then I guess it will never be possible to do an orderly shutdown of a connection pool. ...Edmund. _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
