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 running IIS, you can check out WebSync (http://www.frozenmountain.com/websync), a standards-compliant (bayeux) comet server and client for .NET/IIS. If you don't want the additional load, the On-Demand version is a SaaS option that offloads the heavy lifting.
