Thanks, it is easy to see how the default parameter gets changed with that example since the binding passes back outside the function through the return value, gets assigned to another variable and then the container contents modified through that assignment.

Additional information: I added a print to the front end of DAL.__init__ and was surprised to find driver_args was set to {'check_same_thread': False} but I did not set it in my db = DAL() class constructor call. So here is the issue. I start up the development environment on Linux with a

You must be using trunk. I think this is a bug in trunk but not stable. Thanks for reporting it. Massimo On Mar 3, 2:02 pm, ron_m ron.mco...@gmail.com wrote: Additional information: I added a print to the front end of DAL.__init__ and was surprised to find driver_args was set to

I just downloaded the nightly build, unpacked it, copied over my application and get the same problem. I don't have a problem with 1.92.1. I don't normally use trunk but test it once in a while to see what is coming. :-) Ron

Wow that fixed it. You are a Python Ninja :-) I would sure like to know what the mechanism was that caused driver_args to bleed from SQLLite to the other adapters even though it is defaulted it to an empty dict on the class initializer. I also printed driver_args as the first line of code in

class DAL: def __init__(self,...,driver_args={}) so because this is defined in a module, every time driver_args is not passed it is set to {}, the same {}. If one app changes, the default changes for all apps. It is kind of counter intuitive but it works that way. It is very dangerous to set

Ah Ok, I was trying to reproduce with a simple program containing a couple of classes with a main all in one file but it did not exhibit the problem behaviour. So having the classes in a module is part of the recipe and lists and dicts are passed around as object references to the container
