If you read over the archives on this list for the last couple-three months you'll see that there's a *lot* of activity in this space right now. Most of the activity is happening outside of core development; for example: * django-nonrel (which I see you've seen) * mango (Django/MongoDB integration): http://github.com/vpulim/mango * couchdbkit (not Django-specific, but integrates well): http://couchdbkit.org/ etc. In (or near) to the core, there's Alex Gaynor's Summer of Code project, which is hiding under the innocuous name "query-refactor" (http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/soc2010/query-refactor/), but is focusing on laying the groundwork for NoSQL support. So I hope you can see it's being worked on -- just perhaps not in the way you might think. See, we're a fairly conservative project: we only include code once we know it's solving a very big need and once we know our solution is correct (we are, after all, perfectionists). I think the last couple of years have demonstrated that NoSQL does, in fact, fulfill a very real need, so now we're in the "make sure it's correct" phase. This by definition can't happen in the core; it needs space and freedom to evolve. Django will likely ship with first-class support for non-relational databases at some point in the future, but "at some point" is about as definitive as we can get. If you're impatient, do what I do: start using non-relational databases with Django *right now*! There are perfectly good Python binding libraries for every NoSQL DB out there, and integrating them with Django is usually a very easy thing. I have Django projects in production that use Redis, MongoDB, and CouchDB and all work fine and were pretty easy to write.
