Chat application in Django

Hi,

I am working on a chat application in Django, how can I ensure that I
do not have to poll the server for any chat data.

Possible approaches that I've been to:

1. BAD - use polling.

2. Use long polling - bad approach afa browser support is concerned.

3. Using sockets in flash - makes the application flash dependent.

Is there some good way to do this? Or if there is something Django
specific? Something like HTTPBinding or any 3rd party tested libraries?
I am expected to provide support till IE6. :-(

Correct me if I am wrong, flash is available on 95% of the systems, this
approach looks like safest bet, is it good to go?

Btw, how does Gmail and FB chat works?

Thanks
