Hi Andrew,
thanks for your reply, well to be honest I'm a bit surprised / honored to 
get the answer directly from the creator of South.

Anyhow, aiopg is not the only option, I noticed 
<https://github.com/python/asyncio/wiki/ThirdParty> that there are also 
asyncpg and aiopg8000.
My question is: 
even creating a new database wrapper, how can I modify the connection used 
by the ORM 'on-the-fly' (e.g. only during a management command, that would 
one of the few occasions where mixing AsyncIO with Django can be handy 
IMHO)? 
and that would be enough to use the ORM asynchronously? 

I mean if it's possible with SQLAlchemy there should be a way to achieve 
the same thing with the Django ORM...
