As a stopgap, perhaps Org could issue an error message that async is not
implemented for python-mode.el

I was actually planning to deprecate ob-python support for
python-mode.el, because I don't think it's worth the extra complexity &
burden to support 2 python modes. For users who prefer python-mode, I
think it would be better to have a separate ob-python-mode, perhaps in
org-contrib. There was a related discussion about this [1] a couple
years ago.

However, I never got around to deprecating python-mode support, as I
have been unable to work on ob-python for the last 1.5+ years due to
employment changes and subsequent copyright problems (my employer's
lawyers have some issues with the FSF's form, and I am waiting for the
FSF to review their proposed changes). I was hoping it would be resolved
by now, but it's still pending, and I should be removed as ob-python
maintainer since my hands are tied.
