Ending a connection pool in mysql-connector-python

Question

I have a connection pool that I create using mysql-connector-python:

dbconfig = {
        "database": db,
        "user":     "user"
}    
cnxpool = mysql.connector.pooling.MySQLConnectionPool(pool_name = appname,
                                  pool_size = 5,
                                  **dbconfig)

In the mysql-connector API, there doesn't appear to be a method for ending a connection pool. Is there a way to end a connection pool?

According to this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-connection-pooling.html

You can just call the close() method of the pool

EDIT :

As commented, this will not close the pool, it will only return the connection to the pool.

I looked at this source code https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python/blob/master/lib/mysql/connector/pooling.py

And it looks like the only method that will do it is _remove_connections but it is intended for testing.

According to the docs, that method is for returning an individual connection to the pool. It doesn't look like that method can be called on a pool. Am I wrong?

It says "mostly for testing", but looks like it will accomplish what I want. I will test it to make sure.
