[Soap-Python] Soaplib serializing sqlalchemy after disconnect

[Jonathan Endersby]

Hi

This is a bit of a stab in the dark but I'm hoping that someone has
run into this problem too and has a suggestion on how best to handle
it.

Using soaplib, I have a @soapmethod decorated method (this is the pypi
release version of soaplib). Using SQLAlchemy I do a whole bunch of
work and return some records to  arrays in the response message. I
then explicitly close my SA db connection and return, at which point
the decorator does all the serialization magic.

But, I get a "InvalidRequestError: This Connection is closed" error thrown...

I suspect that the objects that are ending up in the serializer are
lazy loaded and require the connection to be open in order to be
serialized... but I _need_ to explicitly close my connection.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? (I could be doing
something totally idiotic, so feel free to question the basics)

thanks,
j.
