Well, it does run a Python function called "commit". That
function will call "COMMIT" on the database. The end result
will be correct (at the SQL level) because the COMMIT will
not effect a durable commit of data when the SQL in "do
something" had failed.
We have, however, elicited that there may well be other
things belonging into the running business level transaction
which may fail and which should lead to data not being
committed despite being technically correct at the SQL level.

The whole point was to consolidate the commit into one place.
It is unfortunately named, though. It should be called
"close_transaction".

won't help as there's more stuff to be done inside that function.
Thanks,

"""Convenience function for running read-write queries.
Typically (part of) a transaction.
Args:
link_obj: None, cursor, connection
queries:
* a list of dicts [{'cmd': <string>, 'args': <dict> or <tuple>)
* to be executed as a single transaction
* the last query may usefully return rows, such as:
SELECT currval('some_sequence');
or
INSERT/UPDATE ... RETURNING some_value;
end_tx:
* controls whether the transaction is finalized (eg.
COMMITted/ROLLed BACK) or not, this allows the
call to run_rw_queries() to be part of a framing
transaction
* if link_obj is a *connection* then "end_tx" will
default to False unless it is explicitly set to
True which is taken to mean "yes, you do have full
control over the transaction" in which case the
transaction is properly finalized
* if link_obj is a *cursor* we CANNOT finalize the
transaction because we would need the connection for that
* if link_obj is *None* "end_tx" will, of course, always
be True, because we always have full control over the
connection, not ending the transaction would be pointless
return_data:
* if true, the returned data will include the rows
the last query selected
* if false, it returns None instead
get_col_idx:
* True: the returned tuple will include a dictionary
mapping field names to column positions
* False: the returned tuple includes None instead of a field
mapping dictionary
Returns:
* (None, None) if last query did not return rows
* ("fetchall() result", <index>) if last query returned any
rows and "return_data" was True
* for *index* see "get_col_idx"
