Athena is more portable than websockets, and besides, does a lot more.  You could replace the implementation of Athena's message passing with websockets for better performance on browsers that support it, and the interface to the user would not visibly change.

So I would say stick with Nevow and maybe send a patch to it to add websocket support if you need it.

(Contingent, of course, upon you finding someone to help you with it...)

Some docs are available here: <http://divmod.readthedocs.org/en/latest/products/nevow/index.html>.  Although they're incomplete (a partial snapshot of a wiki lost to a hardware failure), they might be able to get you started.

Good luck,
