I’m working on a WebApp using backbone.js and socket.io on the client side, and Django on the server side. I’d like to do “push” from the server when data changes (just like in a chat app). I came across two implementation of socket.io in Python with a Django integration that looked promising:

Both gevent and tornado have very good performance, so I’m not interested in other async connection frameworks. The only other requirement is the use of SSL for the connection – no plain text transmission.

So between these two approached, which would be the easiest to implement? Is there a good subscription-based framework for tornadio2 similar to how django-socketio does it for gevent?

Another option I came across is django-serverpush, which is also based on TornadIO2. It better integrates with Django than the other TornadIO2 apps, but the implementation still needs some improvement before it becomes production-ready.

    At the time of writing this answer, django-socketio still hasn’t been fully upgraded to work with the latest socket.io.

    Tornado/TornadIO2 on the other hand are well maintained, and with a few custom extensions I was able to get them up and running very nicely. After I launch my product, I’m hoping to spend some time to open-source my modifications. Until then, I’d be happy to answer any questions on how to get this running.
