It looks like Guido van Rossum has posted a proposal for adding asynchronous I/O support to the core Python libraries.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/136422

This will certainly improve the situation with interfacing different Python libraries together if it gets adopted. I still don't think asynchronous APIs are as easy to use as blocking ones, but I guess I've said enough about that already :)
