Does django-redis block? I'm not sure I'd make a connection from django to anything other than a low latency queue.

  I think Redis fits your definition of low latency queue. It does in my book, and I run a few thousand concurrent connections to Redis from Django. I also endorse django-redis and use it for caching, pub sub, and various data types. See https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/blob/master/settings.py#L584-L597 https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/blob/master/settings.... for my redis configuration. I also use django-redis for caching (which is higher up in that file).

  Yes, but then again so do the underlying mysql connections. It does use native python sockets, so gevent.monkeypatch would probably work. Blocking is one of the reasons I use flup and fastcgi - it doesn't matter if one thread of execution blocks; it won't affect any other requests. I've tested this under load with some really gnarly queries, and it works fantastically.
