so i probably should have subscribed to this list months (years?) ago, but only now am i getting up to speed on the twisted craziness... anyways, i'm toying with twisted.web, and i'm working on making a web application. i'm also using the TAP interfaces to take care of run-time options, etc.... I'm using MySQLdb to interface with my sql server, but i'm not really sure what to do with my connection object once it's created. i want to put it somewhere that will be easy to access for the rest of the modules, but obviously i don't want it to be persisted when the TAP is saved.... i guess a lot of my problem is that i'm still trying to figure out some of the structure when working with the framework... i want to use the command-line options to specify a user/passwd for the database. i guess this means i want to create my connection instance in the updateApplication method, since it has a options reference, but i don't know how to make it so the connection object isn't persisted, but created new each time the server is started.... any help would be appreciated.... -phil
