Python Postgres psycopg2 ThreadedConnectionPool exhausted
I've struggled to find really detailed information on how the ThreadedConnectionPool works. https://bbengfort.github.io/observations/2017/12/06/psycopg2-transactions.html ain't bad, but it turns out that its claim that getconn blocks until a connection becomes available is incorrect. Checking the code, all ThreadedConnectionPool adds is a lock around the AbstractConnectionPool methods to prevent race conditions. If more than maxconn connections are attempted used at any point, the connection pool exhausted PoolError will be raised.
If you want something a bit simpler than the accepted answer, further wrapping the methods in a Semaphore providing the blocking until a connection becomes available should do the trick:
from psycopg2.pool import ThreadedConnectionPool
from threading import Semaphore
class ReallyThreadedConnectionPool(ThreadedConnectionPool):
def __init__(self, minconn, maxconn, *args, **kwargs):
self._semaphore = Semaphore(maxconn)
super().__init__(minconn, maxconn, *args, **kwargs)
def getconn(self, *args, **kwargs):
self._semaphore.acquire()
return super().getconn(*args, **kwargs)
def putconn(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().putconn(*args, **kwargs)
self._semaphore.release()
You need to use a queue on top of your pool.
Something like the following should work:
import gevent, sys, random, psycopg2, logging
from contextlib import contextmanager
from gevent.queue import Queue
from gevent.socket import wait_read, wait_write
from psycopg2.pool import ThreadedConnectionPool
from psycopg2 import extensions, OperationalError
import sys
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
poolsize = 100 #number of max connections
pdsn = '' # put your dsn here

integer_types = (int,)
else:

integer_types = (int, __builtin__.long)

Then you can call your connection via this:
import db
db.Pcursor().execute(PSQL, arg1, arg2, arg3)
Basically I borrowed the gevent example of async postgres and modified it to support threadpooling via pyscopg2.
https://github.com/gevent/gevent/blob/master/examples/psycopg2_pool.py
I added what psycogreen does inside the module, so all you need to do is import and call the class. Each call to the class stacks a new query on the queue, but only uses the pool at a certain size. This way you don't run out of connections. This is essentially similar to what PGBouncer does, which I think would also eliminate your problem.
https://pgbouncer.github.io/
Your problem here is, that you actually do not return the connection to the pool, but close it forever with
tcp.putconn(conn, close=True)
See the documentation here http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/pool.html
If close is True, discard the connection from the pool.
So, if you put 800 connections into your pool, after 801 loops you will get the "exhausted error" because your connection pool size is zero.
