Unfortunately this still doesn't succeed reconnecting to the server: I get this traceback:
File "/var/local/mailman/Mailman/MysqlMemberships.py", line 141, in _prodServerConnection if self.connection.ping() == 0: OperationalError: (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away')
Apparently the ping() method is not the way to test if the connection is still viable. I suppose you could wrap it in a try: and treat the exception the same as a non-zero result, but I don't know if that's appropriate.
I don't think I can be of further help on this one. Sorry.
You need someone who's familiar with the methods in the MySQLdb module. Maybe Kev Green can help.
