You got a lot of long-winded replies, but the short reply is that Twisted has packaged solutions for this. See http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/enterprise "Twisted provides an interface to any Python DB-API 2.0 compliant database through an asynchronous interface which allows database connections to be used, and multiplexed by multiple threads, while still remaining thread-safe for use with Twisted's event-based main loop. Twisted Enterprise provides these services by leveraging Twisted Internet's utilities for managing thread pools and asynchronous programming." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
