I like this, although I don't know what "start of a transaction" means.
There's no Transaction method corresponding to that concept.  I know what
Transaction.begin() means.

The name "newTransaction" suggests a third possible meaning:  the callback
is invoked by Transaction.__init__().

A fourth possible meaning is that newTransaction should be invoked after a
commit() or abort() too, since in some sense we (at least conceptually) "are
in a new transaction" the instant after the current transaction ends.

What's your true intent here?

Or, IOW, what Connection.afterCompletion does on my local box <wink>.
