Yes

I am not sure I understand here. Once you execute the elisp block with 
that function, the function becomes defined for that instance. But when 
you execute your other block, the example python block using C-c C-c, 
how does org-mode knows to use "org-babel-async-execute:python" instead 
of "org-babel-execute:python"??

You put the cursor in the block, and then call it using M-x?

Yes, this is that :async option that would be great and necessary once 
it works using M-x :)

How can this be done? (Is there an extension mechanism in org-mode for 
that, or it needs to hack the core code?)

Thanks,
