[Django]-Is there a framework like now.js for Django?

I know the thread is pretty old but to answer it :

I found this :

http://dajaxproject.com/

example from the website :

ajax.py

from django.utils import simplejson
from dajaxice.decorators import dajaxice_register

@dajaxice_register
def dajaxice_example(request):
    return simplejson.dumps({'message':'Hello from Python!'})

html

<input type="button" name="rand" value="Get message from server!" id="rand" onclick="Dajaxice.examples.dajaxice_example(my_callback)">

javascript

function my_callback(data){
    alert(data.message);
}

I couldn’t get it to work with “production standards” …

The real magic of now.js is also that you’ve got JS on both side and thus no objects to convert/(un)serialize

I was thinking about a setup like this :

DJANGO <-> NODEJS <-> NOW <-> BROWSER

Django could send objects serialized as json to node who would do the rest …

I guess that would be somewhat tricky … I also thought about going the other way around : meaning getting all django nice features (models,(auto)admin,templates,urls,middleware…)

I couldn’t find anything as nice as django (contrib) admin !! If anyone knows ?
