See my other reply. The above cases are also side-effects of
using a module global for storing the session objects or
connections.

If you don't close the connections you are using explicitly
they may well still be kept alive by some reference to the
connection object in your application.

The server will only
shutdown the real connection to the database if it sees
a .close() method call from the client side (or finds a
timeout).

While you can rely on the fact that the conneection
object deallocation will implicitly close the connection,
you do have to be careful about how you manage references
to the connection object. Otherwise, the connections are
not closed when you think they should be closed.
