vinyl is a third-party package that allows the existing django projects to be used in async context.
Unlike the approach taken by the django project, it supports native asynchrony.
Sync + async
The distinctive feature of vinyl is that it provides both sync and async version that mirror each other 100%. To change the version used one should set the respective flag:
from vinyl import set_async; set_async(true_or_false)The read and the write API's
Generally speaking, vinyl has a full-blown read API similar to that of
django (querysets and the like) and a restricted, minimalistic write API (. insert(), .update() and .delete())

Resume
It is clear to the author that django is doomed to extinction with its current approach to asynchrony. So the only possible approach is the one presented here or the like.
