Here's a discussion about why django did not add pooling to the core: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/NwY9CHM4xpU

Generally speaking it's because third party applications such as pgbouncer do it better.

EDITED: look at Django persistent database connection (feature introduced in 1.6).

Persistent connections avoid the overhead of re-establishing a connection to the database in each request. They’re controlled by the CONN_MAX_AGE parameter which defines the maximum lifetime of a connection. It can be set independently for each database.
