Could someone tell me what to use to build a realtime socket chat app in a pythonanywhere enviroment?

Are the following able to be installed and used?

django-realtime redis node.js iShout.js

or is there another suggested way?

No, that's not going to work on PythonAnywhere at the moment. You could use a chat system that is entirely based on http, though as long as it's a wsgi app or has wsgi as a deployment option.

Thats actually good, because i was having a complete nightmare trying to install jshout with all it dependencies and versions.

I wont annoy you but could you point me in the right direction to build a real time chat application using wsgi?

any links would be very helpful, I'm trying to find some tutorials now.

edit:

would this work? here

Nope. We don't support web sockets for user web apps yet.
