def listen():
    try:
        comet_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        comet_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
        comet_socket.bind( ('', 9000) )
        comet_socket.listen(5)
      
        while 1:
            thread.start_new_thread(handle_request, comet_socket.accept())
    except Exception, e:
        print str(e)

Orbited connects to port 9000 at which point the thread listening to RabbitMQ is spawned off.

@bcoe How would be the way of implement this comet server in a Django app?
