    Apache/mod_python & MySQLdb

    AIUI, global variables are supposed to be preserved within each Apache
    thread/prcoess.

    However, I'm importing and using MySQLdb within a class in a separate
    module, which is in turn imported and used within a _function (ie. not
    "published" ). So, AFAICT, it's not supposed to be preseved.

    But unless I specifically close() the database connection, it gets
    stranded and I eventually run out of connections, even if I del the
    connection and cursor objects.

    What gives? What happened to GC?


    Also, is there an easy way to run pychecker on mod_python scripts? It
    fails since _apache doesn't exist outside of Apache....

    regards,
    Confused & tired of PHP.
