I have a web application im currently working on in python. I'm using Django as my web framework currently. I intend to integrate real-time web features into the application using ajax push. However, I'm a bit confused as to what python based push server i should adopt. I've heard of a few of them, Orbited, Gevent, Tornado, but my main issue right now is that i'm a green horn when it comes to realtime web applications. I'd like to use python and i'd like a framework with good documentation.
A lot of people choose gevent for webapps with real-time features because of the speed, ease of use and a number of supporting packages.
Take a look at these packages:
and these tutorials:
Hope this helps.
