Python SDK Event Loop Missing sync_to_async?

Community Support
1

I’m looking to access my Django ORM in the temporal async context in Python. However, when I run a function that calls asgiref.sync.sync_to_async, it breaks because there is a function called run_in_executor which is implemented in the base Asyncio event loop but not in the _WorkflowInstanceImpl event loop implemented by temporalio.

Is there a solution or workaround to be able to access the Django ORM?
