Q:

+1  A: 

Comet is probably what you want. Look at Orbited, Hurricane or Tornado.

+2  A: 

If you need just a general idea of who is currently visiting your website, which includes anonymous visitors, use django-tracking app.

If you need a chat application, or need to know exactly who is logged in at any time, this is much more complicated and will require you to know a lot about chat protocols like XMPP and how to use persistent connections with ajax or comet methods. Some starting projects to look at: xmpp-psn and django-xmpp

Also see this web page for a list of non-Django XMPP browser clients: http://xmpp.org/software/clients.shtml
