Level 2

                    Level 2 database adapters must be safe to use in a multi-threaded 
Zope instance. This can take multiple behaviour
                    paterns:

                        Internal locking/mutexes for single DA access

                        Global locking through the transaction manager if appropriate

                    While a sub-optimal solution, it should be usable on any 
application that has minimal, or infrequent, database access.
                    This means that all access paterns will be serialized.

                    In addition, all DAs at this level must release the Python global 
interpreter lock.

i assume ZPoPyDA conform to the above statement.  will you make ZPoPyDa into
level 3 anytime soon?

i will try ZPoPyDA on my personal site, and will inform you of any
misbehaviour.  BTW, what symptoms should i look out for if ZPoPyDa misbehave? 
Zope locking/not responding?
