Thanks for trying kimja, but that didn’t work.
However, Google pointed me to a thread here from over 3 years ago that had the answer (linky), seems drwr posted the solution in 2007.
My original code was right, but I wasn’t using .p() to get the actual connection. It works now 
def taskCheckConnections(self, task):
if(self.cManager.resetConnectionAvailable()):
connectionPointer = PointerToConnection()
self.cManager.getResetConnection(connectionPointer)
lostConnection = connectionPointer.p()
self.cManager.closeConnection(self.activeConnections(connectionLost))
print "Connection has been reset: " + str(lostConnection)
self.activeConnections.remove(lostConnection)
#print "Current connections: " + str(self.activeConnections)
for i in self.activeConnections:
print i
return Task.again
