Hey, I'm using Python (Django, gunicorn) for the web site. The chat uses long polling and live-tracking in the panel is done using WebSockets.

Cool. Why did you decide to use gunicorn over Apache? Easy installation?

I am using it with gevent to have efficient long polling/WebSockets. A gevent-websocket sample is included in gunicorn, and I use that as a basis for my WebSocket implementation. It's been a long time since I last used Apache for a deployment.
