Python DB API Techniques

I am writing an application in python that makes many database calls through the runtime, across several objects and multiple threads. So, my question is: What is the proper technique for doing all of this? I would think that it makes sense to establish as few database connections as possible, but how can these resources be shared? More specifically, can I create one connection object at startup and then share it with all my threads and objects which create their own cursor objects and then call multiple queries

Can connection objects be used for more than one cursor? In parallel?
Can cursor objects be used used for more than one query?
Are connection objects threadsafe?
Are cursor objects threadsafe?
Are connection object reliable after a long time of no activity? Do they timeout, and need to be re-established?

Thanks,
Eric
