(Re)Using Django Models in eventlet environment

[ty...@monkeypox.org]

Howdy folks, I'm working on some backend services using eventlet[0] and I would
like to re-use my Django models code, doing so "out of the box" is proving more
difficult than I had hoped.

In order to prevent blocking coroutines, I believe I need to find some way to
smuggle a cursor coming from the eventlet ConnectionPool[1] into django.models,
but past over-writing django.db.connect, I can't find a "clean" means of doing
so.

Any advice? (Here's hoping donovan's lurking around here :))

Cheers,

For what it's worth, resolved this issue on the eventlet mailing list per this
