Sure what -- is it called? Yes, I am sure.

What do you mean by that? Oracle will drop any session, if there is no pointer 
to its connector anymore. So if I do in pure Python cursor.close() and 
db.close(), it drops the session immediately.

OK. Let's go step-by-step through very basic and simple test to get know what 
can keep *Oracle* session alive and you just track here and put comments 
below where is wrong way, ok? Thank you. 

Let's go:
	1. I have self._v_test = None variable in __init__(). The empty one.
	2. Now I call self._v_test = DCOracle2.connect('XXX/XXX at XXX')
	3. So I see (in Oracle) new session created for 'XXX' user.
	4. In pure Python, I call (basically) self._v_test.close() and then 
	Oracle session disappears immediately. Here I call it in the same way.
	5. Voila. Oracle session disappeared either.

But if I do the same thing several times (10-50), I see that some of the 
sessions are present and NOT closed. After I click on Cache button "Minimize" 
it disappears. So how to explain it? Why one time it disappeared, other time 
-- not?

> Zope is not to blame
I really want to beleive in that...
