Ending a connection pool in mysql-connector-python

Question

I have a connection pool that I create using mysql-connector-python:

dbconfig = {
        "database": db,
        "user":     "user"
}    
cnxpool = mysql.connector.pooling.MySQLConnectionPool(pool_name = appname,
                                  pool_size = 5,
                                  **dbconfig)

In the mysql-connector API , there doesn't appear to be a method for ending a connection pool. Is there a way to end a connection pool?

Answer 1

According to this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-connection-pooling.html

You can just call the close() method of the pool

EDIT :

As commented, this will not close the pool, it will only return the connection to the pool.

I looked at this source code https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python/blob/master/lib/mysql/connector/pooling.py

And it looks like the only method that will do it is _remove_connections but it is intended for testing.
