What's really surpising to me is the output on a mac:

$ python psycopg2_multiprocess.py
44276  child fd: 13
44277  child fd: 13
44278  child fd: 13
44279  child fd: 13

The getpid() output indicates that the connec() call is being made
inside a different process each time, yet the connection appears to
still be using the same fd.

FD numbers are process-local in all flavors of Unix.  The above only
proves that all of these processes had FDs 0..12 open already, which
doesn't seem terribly surprising.

Thanks, that's certainly good news!

How can I convince myself, from the client side, that I really have got a new connection and not somehow ended up with one that been passed on as part of the fork?

cheers,

Chris
