I heartily agree checking out what http://stanziq.com has to offer, it is excellent. In particular, a combination of Strophe and Punjab (plus ejabberd) will get you where you want to go. I have a fun little app going that uses Strophe, Punjab, and Django. You can play with it here: http://wikipediagame.org and here is a talk I did at a recent Django user group meeting on the game's architecture: http://clemesha.org/static/talks/Django_and_XMPP_BoshWriting_a_real_time_web_app.pdf I believe you might find it's easier that you think to get going by just playing around with the examples.
