[mod_python] MySQL connections not closing properly

 From your post i understand that this only happens if you kill Apache. Since it is not normal 
practice to stop the HTTP server often, it does not seem like a problem to me. MySQL can handle the 
aborted connections without any problem, so don't bother try to solve something that does not need 
solving. Attempting to shut things down gracefully will actually only make things less stable in 
this particular case.
