Does MySQLdb automatically reconnect if the connection to the database is broken?
I'm asking this since I have a longrunning Python precess that is connected to Mysql-4.1.11, and I execute "set names utf8" when I connect to it. But after running a day the results from the python program were displayed as if the "set names utf8" was not executed i.e. I got question marks where utf-8 cyrillics should've appeared. After restarting the Python program everything was ok, just as when I first started it. The long running Python process is actually a scgi quixote web application. -- damjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
