How about AJAX? You could have JavaScript that sends a request to one of your Django URLs, which has a view that returns the current status. You could than use JavaScript to update the status on the page without any reloading. I do something similar with a Web page that does an API lookup. The page loads, then an API call check's a users account balance. Once the result comes back, the balance is shown on the page.
