Here you go, a fully working AJAX "Hello World" example in Django:
http://www.dajaxproject.com/dajaxice/ I use both Dajax and Dajaxice for a few projects of mine, check out my profile site for a fully working AJAX website made in Django: http://iamkevin.ca/ Django even has specific form widgets in 3rd party apps which use AJAX, such as django-selectable, see my full tutorial here: http://www.pythondiary.com/tutorials/add-ajax-powered-quick-search-any-django-site.html The thing is, when making an application, think about what the framework can do for you and look for solutions which work with the framework. Sure you can use "naked" jQuery, but why, when some developer devoted months of his/her time to build something that "just works". With Dajax for example, you can code almost 95% of your client-side script in Python. I use this for the "Contact" form on my personal profile page provided above. Django does all the form validation, and displays any errors to the user, all using AJAX, and almost no JavaScript coded by me. To take it a step further, you can use Pyjamas, which is Google Web toolkit(GWT) ported to Python. Most of the API is the same(according to the developers). I even wrote a short tutorial on how to integrate Pyjamas with Dajaxice for some nice Django AJAX goodness: http://www.pythondiary.com/tutorials/working-pyjamas-and-dajaxice.html Hopefully these resources help. Do it the Pythonic way!
