How possible would it be to use something like Spark or Derby.js's Racer in a django site?

I like the realtime concept/behavior but I want to keep developing in django.

For the real-time data synchronization part, try dropping dotCloud JS into your Django app: http://js.dotcloud.com

It doesn't do live templating, though.

But, how much would I need to write to update the data in realtime as it changes in the backend?

Something like this:

    var people = dotcloud.sync.synchronize('people');
    people.observe(function(type, change) {
        // Update template here
    });
