transaction_manager attribute of transaction.interfaces.IDataManager
Hi All, What is this attribute actually used for? I see it present on IDataManager but I notice that zope.sqlalchemy's SessionDataManager doesn't have this attribute, with no apparent ill effect. cheers, Chris

transaction_manager = zope.interface.Attribute( """The transaction manager (TM) used by this data manager. This is a public attribute, intended for read-only use. The value is an instance of ITransactionManager, typically set by the data manager's constructor. """) This seems to be used only in the tests, I guess it would be useful if you were using multiple transaction managers in a single thread. I've now added it to zope.sqlalchemy's data manager.

Perhaps if you wanted to use an event based (as opposed to threaded) server. Laurence

I'm in favor of removing it from the interface. Jim -- Jim Fulton
