I glanced at it but I didn't give it much thought because it's not websocket based so it's not truly real-time chat. My aim here is to get a truly web-based replacement for the much aged and horrible embedded IRC clients. I hope to expand on that with a full notification system build around the chat system. IMO apps like the one you linked aren't good for anything but shoutboxes.
I did install it and actually take a look. Other than the antiquated protocol it's exactly what I want. I've got gevent-socketio installed which works with django and other python frameworks. It lists support for web2py in the description but there is zero documentation and web2py isn't included in their examples folder. I think I'm going to continue tweaking with this to see if it will work for me. So far I haven't even gotten the server to start.
