Well, Michael, what you say sounds reasonable. However, I think something more strange is going on (unless I am making a very stupid mistake, which is entirely likely)
I am using the current pylons framework. I have tried to follow their recommendations to the letter. All of my queries are in a single file, and all use the single "Session" global variable created by scoped_session() for the session. I have created test cases (inside the framework) to isolate what is happening. I then exercise them by posting scads of http requests from multiple processes to the paster server. Currently, I am using a test run of 10 concurrent processes each sending 1000 requests. The errors seem to be specific to a *table*. Here's an example - 2 tables author_t, and keyword_t author_t = Table('author', meta, Column('authorkey', Unicode(35), primary_key=True), Column('lastname', Unicode), Column('firstname', Unicode), ) keyword_t = Table('keyword', meta, Column('word', Unicode(20), primary_key = True), Column('stem', Unicode(20)), Column('freq', Integer), ) 1. when I do the following, *never* have seen the error ("keyword" set to a unicode string): s1 = select([keyword_t.c.word,], keyword_t.c.word == keyword) keyword = Session.execute(s1).fetchone() 2. However, when I do the following, I *always* find errors in a run ("authorkey" set to a u string): s1 = select([author_t.c.authorkey,], author_t.c.authorkey == authorkey) author = Session.execute(s1).fetchone() So I am totally confused. What I am doing should be very simple. The tables are simple. The relations are simple. Can you shed any light????? Thanks a million for your help.
