How do you get persistent database connections with Python?

[mark at laptop.local]

How do you create persistent database connections with Apache, Python, 
and PostgreSQL? Any generic methods of creating persistent database connections
would be helpful.

I have been trying like crazy to find information on the topic, but I can't
find any useful information. 

I am using mod_python and also pyGreSQL modules. I can switch to others
if need be,
Thanks!
