Am looking for a wiki formatting widget for my django application, just like the one am using to type this question in stackoverflow?

Stack Overflow uses WMD for their editing. This is an editor for the Markdown language, which, while not strictly wiki markup, is quite close.
An un-obfuscated Stack Overflow-edition version of WMD is available here.

if you use the Stack Overflow version, be aware that it was reverse-engineered in violation of the WMD license terms and without the author's permission.

Although, to be fair, the author was going to give them the unobfuscated version.

Perhaps. But the fact is he didn't, and no-one but him has the right to presume what he "would have done" or "meant to do."

There are two parts to this question. If you're looking for the client-side Javascript WYSIWYG (or WYSIWYM) editor widget, that's unrelated to Django and WMD is a fine choice (though personally I prefer MarkItUp!).
If you're looking for the server-side (Django) piece of the equation, you might check into django-markitup.
