Hello, I just noticed this thread about http push. I'm the author of orbited, and the only reason there aren't django tutorials on using orbited is b/c I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the Django framework. There is absolutely no reason you can't use orbited to push events from Django to the browser.
For those who don't know what this means, orbited is a comet/http-push system designed to allow you to mimic the real-time two-way nature of sockets, but over http. Gmail's talk and meebo's chat services are done using comet technology not dissimilar to orbited. I would say to take a look at http://brbx.com/orbited/tutorials/python_intro.html for the simplest possible introduction on how to send events from a running python process to the web browser via orbited. In comparison to Juggernaut, orbited is designed specifically to scale and have no dependancies on the browser side. Juggernaut requires Flash 8 and uses a channel/subscription based architecture that makes it very, very difficult to scale. Juggernaut provides a much higher level api than orbited though allowing for connect/disconnect triggers to be added to each connection. When it comes down to it though, there is little of importance that you can do with Juggernaut that you can't do with orbited, and orbited is guaranteed to scale laterally without much configuration work. I encourage Django developers to take a look at orbited and also to convert the cherrychat tutorial over to django. Its a project that shouldn't take more than an hour for anyone who is familiar with django and would be a great benefit to the community. -Michael Carter On Jul 21, 3:49 am, "Emanuele Pucciarelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 20 Lug, 20:45, serialx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Is there something like this already?
