Django and NoSQL, any ready-to-use library?

Question

So far Django has good integration with several RDBMS. NoSQL, schema-less and document-oriented DBMS are picking up. What's the status of integration those on-trend and fashionable DBMSes with Django? Are there any production-ready or at least ready-to-use libraries for Django?

So far I have these at hand:

Pre 1.0, django ORM underwent a major queryset re-factor. One of the reasons for this was "This re-factor enables us to support non relational backends".

The official support I think is definitely on the cards; but I think there were more pressing matters for 1.1 and 1.2(now in beta).

However, there are of course several independent efforts to use non relational databases with django, including, but not limited to the following:

• Django-nonrel by Waldemar, who made django work on the appengine using the appengine patch.
• Using django with mongo db, by Kevin Fricovsky: http://bitbucket.org/gumptioncom/django-non-relational/
• Using django with couch db, an old post, by Eric: http://www.eflorenzano.com/blog/post/using-couchdb-django/
