SQLAlchemy and Twisted

Question

I\'v learned twisted for somewhile and would like to do some network communication and local db operation as well.BTW, MySQL DB adopted, non-blocking required and perferred.

Answer 1

SQLAlchemy presents a blocking interface to database access. You can use it with Twisted if you use it in a separate thread. It's frequent to use many threads with SQLAlchemy anyway, so there's nothing really special going when you try to use it with Twisted. It only seems strange because Twisted itself mostly offers APIs which you don't need threads for.
