In this page: http://dev.s-cubism.com/web2py_plugins you can find a set of
plugins, one of them are message plugin. (experimental, but I used and it
works well)

Also there is a video (in portuguese) about real time message:

Thanks for the replies. What I need is not a realtime messaging system, 
also that is something I have in mind for future extensions -- so still 
helpful, thanks. 

My need is more like an emailing system where each user will have an inbox, 
sent and trash folder, and messages are shown in a thread form. So in the 
inbox page, you see the list of all the messages you've received, and if 
you click on one, all the corresponding to that particular message appears.

Thanks

web2py comes with a realime messaging engine in 
gluon/contrib/comet_messaging.py. It requires tornado installed. read the 
docstrings in the file for more info. It is not well documented but there 
is a video about it http://vimeo.com/18399381.
