Ok, I see your point, and yes, I think it is a bug.
In [9]: cnn.autocommit = False
[23759] conn_set_session: autocommit 0, isolevel 5, readonly 2, deferrable 2
In [10]: cnn.readonly = True
[23759] conn_set_session: autocommit 0, isolevel 5, readonly 1, deferrable 2
In [11]: cnn.autocommit = True
[23759] conn_set_session: autocommit 1, isolevel 5, readonly 1, deferrable 2
In [12]: cnn.readonly = True
[23759] conn_set_session: autocommit 1, isolevel 5, readonly 1, deferrable 2
The operation in [12] would be idempotent: the code checks that the
new value is the same of the previous one and bails out early. But
checking the internal state for idempotence when in autocommit is
wrong: the only state that matters is what's in the server session.
I'll take a look at the logic of the state switching.
