[Twisted-Python] Using sqlalchemy in twisted.

[Peter Cai]

Hi,
I've read some mails in this list that recommend use sqlalchemy in separate
processes.

But if u use multiprocessing which provides only synchronous API, doesn't
you have to use deferToThread also?

Another way would be using "twisted.internet.protocol.ProcessProtocol",
which use pipes.  But can we pass SA Objects through pipes?

If you can write a little code to describe how you use multiprocessing,  I
will be very thankful!
