I received the same error when trying to connect to an Oracle DB using the pyodbc module:

connection = pyodbc.connect()

The error occurred on the following occasions:

• The DB connection has been opened multiple times in the same python file
• While in debug mode a breakpoint has been reached while the connection to the DB being open

The error message could be avoided with the following approaches:

• Open the DB only once and reuse the connection at all needed places
• Properly close the DB connection after using it

Hope, that will help anyone!
