I heartily agree checking out what http://stanziq.com has to offer, it
is excellent.

In particular, a combination of Strophe and Punjab (plus ejabberd) will get
you where you want to go.

I have a fun little app going that uses Strophe, Punjab, and Django.  You can
play with it here: http://wikipediagame.org

and here is a talk I did at a recent Django user group meeting on the
game's architecture:

I believe you might find it's easier that you think to get going by
just playing around
with the examples.  Try starting here:

good luck!
