How to write a simple server-push implementation in Python using django?

Question

Hello,
I would like to write a simple server-push implementation either using long pooling or comet that integrates into the server.
I don't want to use a networking framework like twisted because I want to learn how everything is done internally.
What exactly should I learn?
What specifications should I look at?
I prefer something that fits to apache so long pooling is better right?
Is there a way to implement such a thing without any external framework like Stackless Python?

Using Django it is not possible, because django works behind standard http server. To push you need to write a server supporting large number of paralell connections. To start with, I recommend reading Orbited source code. Read both server (python) and client (javascript) code.
