Does this project actually work?

Looking at the code, it seems like db_pool is created at import to properly proxy to the sqlalchemy pool manager as expected.

However, as of the changeset in https://github.com/kennethreitz/django-postgrespool/pull/21 it seems like the db_pool is no longer used to connect to the database and it should fallback to the default django psycopg2 drivers.

The only reference to the db_pool object that should do the pooling magic is in the _dispose method. So it seems like this is a simple wrapper around the default Django backend.

Perhaps I am missing some DB-API knowledge or Django magic though?

@mjschultz yes it works. By the way this project haven't updated for a long time so I created fork with various fixes - https://github.com/lcd1232/django-postgrespool2

To be clear, this project does not work.

Your fork should work because it adds back the get_new_connection that uses the db_pool.

This project does not work - use the fork at https://github.com/lcd1232/django-postgrespool2.

@lcd1232 any plan to send PR with fork's changes to this repo?

Neither this or the fork work for me. (Using Django 2)
