More bugs squashed

01Sep08

I’ve pushed some code that, I think, will take care of the web-server crashes you may have experienced on the site. They were due to some thread-unsafe code on my part.

While deciding on some way to correctly handle DB connection pooling, I tried to dig into SQLAlchemy. I’ve heard really great things about it, so I really put an effort to work my way trough it’s massive documentation. After some hours of pain and frustration, I pretty much realized the thing is overkill for simple connection pooling.

In the end, I decided to go with  DBUtils. Little overhead and seems to be working great so far.
