Peter,

Certainly lots of cool stuff being explored in the realtime space.

My own experiment which I gave as a lightning talk on Wed morning is posted here:

https://github.com/ptone/django-live

It does a few additional things including the management of a live collection of objects. I think we need a bunch of these things to be built to explore what the common patterns are, and what if anything Django can provide to ease the stuff that gets repeated each time.

Hi Preston,
Unfortunately I didn't make it to your open space about Realtime. I worked a large part of my time at djangocon and thus missed a lot of interesting events.

I see you're using something psycogreen which I'm not familiar. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

I have now got a couple of launched sites with sockets and I've never used Django for any of them. However, my django-sockjs-tornado is kinda silly because you probably wouldn't want to mess around with the ORM in a realtime environment anyway. If I were to write something decent I'd let django signals write to a pubsub redis which the live sockjs connections could pick up.

Keep up the good work!
