... where people can do group chat from the site, and also allow them to "subscribe" to get chats (in their XMPP/Jabber client) that are posted there.

Check out the Hangouts API here: https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/getting-started

Scratch Hangouts API.. it is too "video" centric and appears to rely to heavily on the actual Hangouts UI, rather than being a low-level chat API as I first thought.

Instead, check out XMPP on AppEngine: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/
