I think the release of Tornado has got people thinking about "Comet frameworks" (for lack of a better term), and I have the personal opinion that Django+Orbited+Twisted could make a better "Comet framework" than Tornado.
Here's a project that is exploring combining Django+Orbited+Twisted: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot - it contains a full working example, and I believe taken further, it could really turn into (at least) a great starting point for making "real world" Comet apps with Python.
It's funny they call it the framework of the future when it doesn't support (as of now) its host language of the future (Python 3) :D
> This release [...] is the last one that will support Python 2.3. The next release will support only Python 2.4 and above. Twisted: the framework of the future!
