forgive my ignorance this week - i'm rusty on twisted. I seem to be hitting a limit on threads / db connection ( not sure which one , as db could block connection ) at 11 The only code i have influencing the sizes are as follows: ======= class MY_dbConnectionPool( adbapi.ConnectionPool ): def __init__( self ,): adbapi.ConnectionPool.__init__( self, 'psycopg2' , host="localhost", database="xxxxx", user="xxxxx", password="xxxxx", cp_min= 16, cp_max= 16 ) ======= reactor.suggestThreadPoolSize( 17 ) reactor.run() ======= i never see more than 11 connections - in fact, i always see 11 connections -- 10 for the db the thread pool, and 1 for the db in the main i'm fairly sure if there's any error here it's going to be my fault -- can someone point me in the right direction ?
