In SQLAlchemy documentation there is an example of handling session with context manager:
from contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanagerdef session_scope(): """Provide a transactional scope around a series of operations.""" session = Session() try: yield session session.commit() except: session.rollback() raise finally: session.close() What are real benefits of creating new session vs. returning the same session kept at module level in above approach? Some objects like query will keep session reference even after session.close(), so created session is not guaranteed to end with contextmanager call. Then it may lead to 'sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: is already attached to session' exceptions. Of course in the docs there is a warning above approach is for "advanced developers", who can sort out any issue or risk their advanced badge revoked... Is there any way to list all sqlalchemy session objects? It may be useful id debugging.
