[mod_python] mysql_python connections

Hi, thanks for the advice, when I do the command you advised "mysqladmin 
-p processlist', These are the responses I get

Before Login:
0

First pages after login screen (choice page):
1 Connection to database12

Main screen with list:
4 connections to database12

Logout:
5 connections to database12

Now I know that I'm doing something wrong here, but I just can't figure 
it out. I close all the database connections that I open (or I think I 
do) but this still seems a bit much. Also it's now been 5 minutes and 
they still show up as open. Do you have any idea what I can do to help 
this. When I first tried to do this app I tried to put a single database 
connection in the session, but that didn't work at all (I think I even 
successfully crashed apache once I'm proud to say), so I started opening 
a connection on every page and closing them at the end of the page 
generation. The problem seems to be though that some aren't getting closed.

Cheers

Trevor
