Ah, so you're using ZODB in a non-Zope context? If so, then you should 
probably be using zodb-dev at zope.org and not this list. This list is 
actually for relational database related stuff that has to do with zope.

In any case, I've never heard of using a sempahore in this instance, and 
that would effectively make your application single threaded.
I'd suggest building a mechanism that retries the ConflictError'ing code.

Can you give us more detail about what it is you're doing that's causing 
the ConflictErrors to be raised?

cheers,

Chris
