Choosing and deploying a comet server

Question

I want to push data to the browser over HTTP without killing my django/python application.

I decided to use a comet server, to proxy requests between my application

Answer 1

If you're looking to combine Django with a Comet server (Orbited), check this project I have going to integrate Django and Orbited in as "clean" and "real-world" as possible here: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot

The project addresses "real-world" problems like security and logging/filtering/modifying the in-transit Comet messages, etc - but is still a work in progress.
