http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AJAX --- it lists exactly one implementation done by Eric Moritz. It uses prototype.js. Current state of this project is "abandoned" --- no changes were made in a long time. His solution provides uniform access to models using existing Django framework. All dispatching is done by a middleware component. There are no provisions for widgets.
I don't know if anybody else is doing/planning something related to Django/Ajax. I explored Django Ajax possibility some time ago. After evaluation of several different frameworks I decided that Dojo provides the best foundation. Coincidentally Eric came to the same conclusion: http://eric.themoritzfamily.com/2005/07/29/django-ajax-and-dojo/ Dojo and Django are in different states of maturity. Dojo is still under heavy development, while Django Just Works (tm). There is no official list of supported browsers, some common widgets are missing, and so on. But it rapidly goes there. Maybe in a month or so it would make sense to start integration works. One application that can benefit instantly from Ajax is Django's admin. Robert Wittams leads the new-admin effort, which may replace existing admin pretty soon. It makes sense to wait for him to finish before introducing new orthogonal changes. So coming December I am going to look into Django/Ajax again possibly producing some code.
