How do I write Facebook apps using Django?

Am in the process of developing some app for Facebook using Django! I've started first by building the app in Django and its shaping up pretty well, now am wondering how can I make it a Facebook app.

I would really appreciate real world example for Facebook apps made with Django.

Can I make app using Django?

Yes. Use the standard Android app tools and use Django to serve and process data through API requests.

I just saw the presentation of Mr. Eric Florenzano at Pycon 2010, and he talks about a side project he did on facebook using django.

From PYCON 2010:

If you've been using Django for any amount of time, you've probably learned some pretty standard practices on how to use it. This talk aims to shatter those conceptions and teach you alternative ways that you could use Django.

These alternate ways come broadly in two varieties: Using parts of Django outside of it, and choosing alternatives to what Django offers. If you haven't done either of these things before, it may seem tricky or difficult. In fact, it may not be.

This talk will walk you through the process and talk about what to expect if your project just doesn't seem to "fit the mold".

I recommend you check out his blog and the presentation.
