Initial question was how Django supports the kind of approach you are looking for (Comet) and the answer was Django neither supports nor prevents you from doing it. I think there's mention of a couple of different external projects that were looking to do something in this area, but I have no need for this approach myself so have no idea whether these projects have prospered or fallen by the wayside.
