Not to be to nitpicky... but this commit is never reached. And dangling
transactions can be very irritating.
I'd go for this (untetsted)
def transaction(f)
def _wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
commit = True
try:
return f(*args, **kwargs)
except:
commit = False
finally:
(session.commit if commit else session.rollback)()
