Here's a pretty basic example I wrote a while ago using Twisted: <http://tw.ecritters.biz/files/twistedchat.py>. The server keeps the connection open and sends messages when they occur, with the side effect of keeping the browser's page-loading indicator alive indefinitely. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
