Using Socket Programmaing with django(for a chat room web app)

[CHAITANYA BHATIA]

I want to create a chat room web application without using django Chains (i.e. I need to use the socket module provided by Python by default). I am facing a difficulty in submitting the input from the html page to the client function.The only way I know of submitting the input from the webpage to the client function is using forms but the problem is that using submit option reloads the webpage and thus calls the client function everytime a message has to be sent because of this no message can be sent.
Please suggest a way of doing this.

Maybe you can use Tornado for the websockets

I'm a fan of socket.io

I've done this in PHP using laravel and redis. There are python pub/sub providers as well so swapping the laravel/PHP for Django and Python should be very doable.
