There are a couple pluggable apps for using Django as a chat server that you could use or at least use as a reference or starting point.

There are also these posts on using Django with Orbited to create a chat server.

A basic messaging service is fairly easy. Most of it will be through Javascript/AJAX. Simply store messages from users to users in the database, and have your AJAX poll the server for updates. Once the conversation is ended, delete them.
