mysqldb

Hi
I am using MySQLdb. I want to know how can I check whether a
connection is open or not.If it is open I want to use the existing
connection else create a new connection by
db=MySQLdb.connection(.........)

ketulp,
Can you default the connection to None.

def foo(x,y,z,connection=None):
if not connection:
connection = OpenMyConnection()
.....

You could then use foo with or without an open
connection.
