  Bringing Async Capabilities to django ORM

I'm not sure if its official. Would love some more guidance/clarity/docs/funding from the django foundation on what it looks like to migrate legacy code to the new ways.

The rednaks repo works great for just giving the new async stuff a go. If everything else is also using async.

I did some experimentation with this. And its a pain trying to migrate a production application that uses gevent and psycogreen2.

The documentation on the code migration path is pretty sparse.

The main hiccup that I ran into was psycogreen2 not being supported.

Thanks, it's great to see Django adding slowly but surely in all sorts of places.

By the way, have you looked at tortoise orm, which is a fully async python ORM with very Django-like syntax? [1]

Everything works great if everything is already using the regular threading and asyncio/async methods, or JUST gevent/psycogreen.

The django documentation suggests mounting WSGI into ASGI.

But, it breaks down immediately going between the two paradigms.

I put a little experiment together a bit ago to see what would work in production, and my results.
