A few months ago I was able to use Orbited and Stomp with Django to create a simple realtime application. The Orbited project seems to be dead now (or in a state of flux?) as orbited.org is down.
What is a good current solution for creating realtime applications with Django?
Thanks.
Very late, but short answer:
It does appear like Orbited is dead. However, you can still use it for Django (I have, recently). There are other options, like APE, but getting that to work with Django is not trivial, and it’s also not greatly maintained. But APE works with Node.js, which is a good fit for this sort of thing.
In my experience, unless the Comet solution you need is exceedingly simple, and you have lots of time and freedom to set things up both on your development server and your deployment server, you’re better off to go with something made to solve the problem, like Scala + Lift. (I know, you asked for Django, but after searching for a long time myself, I feel it good to leave you with this bit of advice.)
