I am learning Python and Django. I want to create a Gtalk type of application using Django and Python. Please tell me where I can find documentation that will help me build my application. Mainly I want to know how to determine when anyone logs in if their friends is online, busy, offline, etc. I also would like to know how to respond to those events. Thanks in advance.
you can start with learning the XMPP protocol, or learning to use any of the python libraries that deal with XMPP.
I referred you to XMPP because this is the protocol used by GTalk. there are other instant messaging protocols that can be used.
If you're thinking of writing a Gtalk-type application in Django, you could look to host it on Google AppEngine, which has great support for XMPP.
Also, check out Tornado, which is better for real-time Python apps than Django is.

I am developing a Django app to run on every client computer separately. The question is, which technologies should I use to distribute such as docker, virtual machine etc.? How can I protect the Django app's code? How can I prevent to distribute without licenses?
I suggest you look into Heroku. They have a free plan too so you can test it without having to pay first. Their guide with django after you set up an app is good too. You will find everything in their documentation but if you get stuck, I recommend this video by Corey Schafer. Good luck
Edit: Heroku also supports Docker but I'm not too familiar with it. Might be useful to you
I am developing my web app with Python 2.7 + Bottle. Everything is great and python is an amazing language coming from ASP.NET. I am building a web application that needs to use real-time client/server communication and socket.io for node.js comes to mind.
I wanted to know how can I implement socket.io-like using Python + bottle. I've read this article on bottle, but I can't still seem to understand how it works - what I need to install, and how all works out (code examples?).
I really need that for my next web application but need help in understanding what I need to put in my project in order for it to work. I have no problem working with 'preview' codes which aren't stable release yet. I'm developing on Windows platform. Thanks.
I also want to know if its scalabe. whether I can use redis in the back so all calls will be sync when running my website on several servers, so when one client send data, all the other clients connected to the other servers will get it to.
maybe websocket can help you,many modern browser support this protocol,but bottle.py don't support it now,you can get some idea from tornado.websocket and some answer here
cause every connection can be saved,so i guess it can run on several servers,but i never implement.
since bottle is micro framework,you should do something by yourself.
I am building the web application in python/django.
I need to apply some machine learning algorithms on some data. I know there are libraries available for python. But someone in my company was saying that Mahout is very good toll for that.
i want to know that can i use it with python/django. or i should do that with python libraries only
I think you could build an independent application with mahout, and you python application is just a client.

Recommended python library/framework for local web app?
I am looking for a lightweight framework/webserver that will make it easy to develop web interfaces for some demon processes or some application that should have ideally be an desktop application.
Some examples
To organize photo/music collections, move between folders, edit meta data of those etc,
A simple to-do list/ Money manager/ Documents manager etc,
A log/textFile viewer
A page showing the status of my git repositories
I prefer server side to be python. I don't want to run a full webserver like apache. As this is going to be used similar to a desktop app, I dont need any security features that will prevent me from accessing file system or running any shell commands or accessing internet etc.,
Any suggestions?
Check bottle.py
Most frameworks will have built-in development servers, so you can still use django or some other. But if you are looking for something lightweight to do some quick project, bottle.py can be great
Werkzeug is a good choice. It's a web toolkit more than a web framework. It's very mature, and is the basis of Flask, a popular microframework.
I've developed a website using vanilla Werkzeug and it was really intuitive. It has an explicit feel to it. None of the RoR-style autoload-controller and folder logic, just a bunch of classes and modules that are really well-documented and useful.
As well as cherry.py is a lightweight framework with full server.
http://www.cherrypy.org/
CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much
the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python
program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time.
Any Python web microframework running on any wsgi compliant Python lightweight web server will do. There are already questions on both here.
I'm building an Android IM chat app for fun. I can develop the Android stuff well but i'm not so good with the networking side so I am looking at using XMPP on AWS servers to run the actual IM side. I've looked at OpenFire and ejabberd which i could use. Does anyone have any experience with them or know a better one? I'm mostly looking for sending direct IM between friends and group IM with friends.
Try to explore more about Amazon SQS( Simple Queuing Service) . It might come handy for your requirement.
As an employee of ProcessOne, the makers of ejabberd, I can tell you we run a lot of services over AWS, including mobile chat apps. We have industrialized our procedures.
