Ask HN: Comet in Python--suggestions?
Hi all,
This weekend I'm planning to play with some Comet stuff using Python (that I can run on MS-Windows). Couple of days back someone posted a Comet Python framework (not Tornedo) whose name I cannot recall? Can you please give some good suggestions?
Also, I don't have any experience with Python web-frameworks so a question (probably a stupid one)
1- If I use Django will I still have to use a a Comet-based server? How does a comet server fit into the picture if I'm planning to use Django? Does anyone has any experience/thoughts on this.
Any help is appreciated.

- aneel99 17y agoThank you. Any idea as to what kind of problems I can run into on Windows?
- ash 17y agoI haven't tried, but according to http://eventlet.net/doc http://eventlet.net/doc (used Google cache - it's down for me at the moment): Areas That Need Work * Not tested on Windows * There are probably some simple Unix dependencies we introduced by accident. If you’re running Eventlet on Windows and run into errors, let us know. * The eventlet.processes module is known to not work on Windows.
