I have been using web2py’s pyDAL with no problem for a long time. However, recently I started getting the error mentioned in the title and this stacktrace.
I googled about and for some reason a certain pyDAL thread came up. And in one of the comments I saw some code which forced a reconnect.
So I took my instance of pyDAL and forced a reconnect before inserting:
def record_buy(config_file, order_id, mkt, rate, amount): """Store the details of a coin purchase. Create a new record in the `buy` table. Returns: Nothing """ db._adapter.reconnect() db.buy.insert( config_file=config_file, order_id=order_id, market=mkt, purchase_price=rate, amount=amount) db.commit()
And wallah! No more error!
