I wrote about concurrent usage of Django ORM and SQLAlchemy - Django and SQLAlchemy (in russian), but this approach have big disadvantage: double number of connections to RDBMS (for Django ORM and for SQLAlchemy).

Ivan Sagalaev (aka maniac) suggested more elegant and clear way to do it in his "Integrating Django and Pylons app" masterclass (in russian): he wrote Django DB backend which uses SQLAlchemy connection pool (see django-and-pylons for samples).
