Using Roundup 1.4.6, with:

Python 2.5.2, Apache 2 and MySQL 5.0.51a (dev box)
Python 2.5.2, Apache 2 and bundled SQLite (dev box)
Python 2.3.5, Apache 2 and MySQL ??? (web host box)
Python 2.4.x, Apache 2 and MySQL ??? (web host box)

The included CGI script works fine until I try and log in, at which point a fatal exception is sprung.

: Cannot operate on a closed database.

Last night it was just saying "InterfaceError", but tracking it down suggested the same cause. The difference is probably that the state of the database has changed since I was able to log in after switching to the wsgiref CGI handler.

Traceback:

: Cannot operate on a closed database.

A problem occurred while running a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, with the most recent (innermost) call first. The exception attributes are:
