Jon Dufresne a1fdaebc30 Dropped deprecated PersistentConnectionPool
This class was deprecated in
27cd6c4880 (Dec 2, 2012), which was first
included in release 2.5. Enough time has passed for library uses to find
an alternative solution.

This class was untested.

`psycopg2.pool` -- Connections pooling
======================================
.. sectionauthor:: Daniele Varrazzo <daniele.varrazzo@gmail.com>
.. index::
pair: Connection; Pooling
.. module:: psycopg2.pool
Creating new PostgreSQL connections can be an expensive operation. This
module offers a few pure Python classes implementing simple connection pooling
directly in the client application.
.. class:: AbstractConnectionPool(minconn, maxconn, \*args, \*\*kwargs)
Base class implementing generic key-based pooling code.
New *minconn* connections are created automatically. The pool will support
a maximum of about *maxconn* connections. *\*args* and *\*\*kwargs* are
passed to the `~psycopg2.connect()` function.
The following methods are expected to be implemented by subclasses:
.. method:: getconn(key=None)
Get a free connection from the pool.
The *key* parameter is optional: if used, the connection will be
associated to the key and calling `!getconn()` with the same key again
will return the same connection.
.. method:: putconn(conn, key=None, close=False)
Put away a connection.
If *close* is `!True`, discard the connection from the pool.
*key* should be used consistently with `getconn()`.
.. method:: closeall
Close all the connections handled by the pool.
Note that all the connections are closed, including ones
eventually in use by the application.
The following classes are `AbstractConnectionPool` subclasses ready to
be used.
.. autoclass:: SimpleConnectionPool
.. note:: This pool class is useful only for single-threaded applications.
.. index:: Multithread; Connection pooling
.. autoclass:: ThreadedConnectionPool
.. note:: This pool class can be safely used in multi-threaded applications.
