Re: psycopg2 hang with multithread frequent queries

Hi Federico,

No long-running trac, commit is done fair often. I also tried "one conn for
all threads" vs "one conn for one thread", and "one cursor all the way" vs
"use and throw away cursor", issue remains.

I install psycopg2.4.5 with easy_install, do I need to build psycopg2 from
source to enable debug info?

Thanks!
