Right.

The problem is not with callbacks, but how the application can yield the 
data obtained via a callback

I'm thinking about a different solution, using wsgi.pause_output:

def app(env):
    def cb():
       resume()

    # This send an asynchronous query request
    r = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM test", on_state_ready=cb)
    resume = env['wsgi.pause_output']()
    yield ''

    # Now you can read the data, as if the application is synchronous
    yield str(r.fetchall())



Not sure if this is possible, I'll try to do some tests with Twisted.
