原因：

这是因为mysql有两个参数来自动断开不活跃的连接，MySQLdb的连接超过这个时间后就会被mysql自动断开。

interactive_timeout
wait_timeout

可以登陆mysql 执行show global variables like "%timeout%" 进行查看

解决办法：

办法一：

修改mysql的配置，对上面两个参数进行修改

办法二：

使用conn的ping()方法进行重新连接

conn = MySQLdb.conn(xxxxx)
conn.ping(True)

ping(...)
    Checks whether or not the connection to the server is
    working. If it has gone down, an automatic reconnection is
    attempted.

    This function can be used by clients that remain idle for a
    long while, to check whether or not the server has closed the
    connection and reconnect if necessary.

    New in 1.2.2: Accepts an optional reconnect parameter. If True,
    then the client will attempt reconnection. Note that this setting
    is persistent. By default, this is on in MySQL<5.0.3, and off
    thereafter.

    Non-standard. You should assume that ping() performs an
    implicit rollback; use only when starting a new transaction.
    You have been warned.
