Followup (better late than never, right?) --
A few days after my post, Eric Florenzano put up a how-to for multi-db support in Django:

I wish more people would read this blog post before writing another MVC framework in Node.

Looks like they gave it a year: http://eflorenzano.com/blog/2011/02/16/technology-behind-convore/
I'm not trying to dance on their grave or anything, but from reading this article it appears a company I worked with last summer had read it as well, and that level of -- let's call it "sophisticated" -- messaging architecture was beyond unwieldy for an early-stage company. I can understand wanting to avoid Michael Arrington calling you "amateur hour" when things fall over under popularity, but there's a such thing as overengineering.
I realize my opinion might be based on a red herring or strawman, but when chat is the "Hello World" of server-side JS I'm just not sure there was enough outside of the architecture to hang a company on.

You can bundle a production server using CherryPy's server:
http://www.eflorenzano.com/blog/post/hosting-django-site-pure-python/
Then your users can proxy requests from a certain port to CherryPy.
The guys from silver stripe bundled their django app for a windows installer (only windows) using TooFPy:
