Websockets for Django using Redis as message queue
This module implements websockets on top of Django without requiring any additional framework. For messaging it uses the Redis datastore and in a production environment, it is intended to work under uWSGI and behind NGiNX.
Features
Largely scalable for Django applications with hundreds of open websocket connections.
Runs in a cooperative concurrency model using gevent, thus only one thread/process is simultaneously required to control all open websockets.
Full control over the main loop during development, so Django can be started as usual with ./manage.py runserver.
No dependency to any other asynchronous event driven framework, such as Tornado, Twisted or Node.js.
Optionally persiting messages, allowing server reboots and client reconnections.
The only additional requirement is a running instance of Redis, which by the way is a good replacement for memcached.

Release History
0.2.2
Moved mokey patching for Redis socket into the runner. This sometimes caused errors when running in development mode.
Added timeout to select call. This caused IOerrors when running under uWSGI and the websocket was idle.
0.2.1 - Reverted issue #1 and dropped compatibility with Django-1.4 since the response status must use force_str.
0.2.0 - Major API change
Use WS4REDIS_… in Django settings
Persist messages, allowing server reboots and reconnecting the client
Share the file descriptor for Redis for all open connections
Allow to override the subscribe/publish engine
0.1.2 - fixed: Can use publish to websocket without subscribing
0.1.1 - instead of CLI monkey patching, explicitly patch the redis.connection.socket using gevent.socket
0.1.0 - initial revision
