[Twisted-Python] mutexes in twisted.enterprise?

[Bob Ippolito]

Well see the thing is that yes, the db supports transactions [postgres], 
but I need to make sure the db processes requests in the order that 
they're received over the wire, not whenever that particular db 
connection gets around to it.

I don't think I'm currently having issues w/ it right now, but I'm just 
concerned that potentially it could be a problem someday.
