OK well when you say "in the event of an error", is that an error that precedes
the rollback, and is it the same 2006 error ? or is the 2006 error new with
the rollback?
Basically, what should happen is, any DB operation, like execute, or commit,
rollback, can potentially throw a 2006. SQLAlchemy will detect this as a
"disconnect" situation, and discard all open connections that aren't checked
out. The next operation will use a brand new connection.
So without knowing if you're getting this same error multiple times or not,
you'd want to either rollback() a second time, or just throw away the Session
after the rollback() fails. With SQLSoup you'd want to get at it by
sqlsoup_engine.session.remove(), which will replace the current thread's
Session with a new one.
