But MongoDB does provide for some simple async use cases like throwing data at the DB and not waiting for a response. As for the session handling magic in Ming, there's really not much at all over the top of what mongo-python provides in terms of connection/cursor handling.

Just wondering if you've thought about whether similar concepts could be applied to async (like Twisted, etc.) connections to MongoDB. It looks like this would be pretty tricky to do with something like Ming, since it seems to handle things similarly to how SQLALchemy does things.
