Yes! sockets are the heart and soul of chat sys :-)

You can use many, but I would suggest heroku for your free apps.

There are many python libraries Tkinter, PyQt, PyGtk, wxPython through
which you have GUI!

I think with above you are good to go!

That would really depend upon the type of chat application you are relying
upon. For a command line utility I think you can skip it, but if you wish
to have good-looking web version then yes, give Django a shot! But yes do
see other frameworks as well, just for finding out, learning and knowing
more :)

Yes, it will be good decision to use DB to store names and chat histories
(with timestamp) and have your logs ready

Its good too :)

Make mistakes and fail early!

Python is awesome! But do try to learn the best practices. For eg, reverse
a string string[::-1] etc.
