One technique I've thought about in lieu of round-robin pooling is simply allocating one connection per thread. E.g.:
def makeConnection(): return dbadapter.connect(arg1, arg2, etc) _connectionPool = {} def getConnection(): name = threading.currentThread().getName() if not _connectionPool.has_key(name): _connectionPool[name] = makeConnection() return _connectionPool[name] Of course, you could phrase this as a wrapper just like DBPool. I can't decide if there's any advantages to this or not. It doesn't rely on garbage collection, but a single thread can't get more than one connection (though I don't know if that's generally needed), and passing connections between threads might be problematic.
