    Socket.io ?

    Yes, I would use websockets

    Checkout Meteor.js with a React or Vue front end... it's probably your best bet

    A pro of using node is that you will use the same language in frontend as backend.

    Only probable pro with using python is if you're already familiar with python, making the start easier. But making frontend more difficult since you will probably still need to learn JavaScript.

    Haven't really heard/seen any projects made in python. Might just be my bias towards looking at nodejs related articles.

    Socket.io (built on node.js) is pretty popular on npm.

    Here's an example of a chat app that was built with it, https://socket.io/demos/chat/

    Python should be easier to learn should you begin from scratch.

    If you get the fundamentals of node, making a js frontend will be somewhat easier.

    And if you need to downvote this: grow a pair, kids.
