That's ok.  You can use twisted.enterprise.adbapi, which automatically wraps
a DB-API 2.0 module into an asynchronous interface (it does the DB
interactions in threads, and then fires an event in the main loop).

Or if you prefer, you could use twisted.internet.threads.deferToThread,
which will run a function in a thread, and fire a callback on a Deferred
when done.

Twisted is asynchronous, but it gives you convenient ways to work with
blocking code when necessary.
