Simple pyhon-based CMS

[Stewart Midwinter]

I'm looking for a simple python-based CMS (content management system),
maybe with some blog-like features, ability to add articles - nothing
too fancy. Do you have any suggestions?

I've looked at Zope / Plone: very easy to install using the rpm I
found. But it's obviously quite complex and powerful, which is no
doubt of benefit on a site that has many users. But I'm just one
person. All I want is a pythonic replacement for my current tool,
postNuke.

I looked at NewzBruiser: this would probably be simple enough, maybe
even too simple, but it requires that I enable SSI support on Apache,
something I seem to be unable to accomplish (I run SME server from
contribs.org and it uses a byzantine templating system for its
configuring, which leaves me in the dark on how to modify httpd.conf
there).

Any other ideas?

thanks

A friend of mine is working on one called MangoBery
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mangobery/), which is in use at several
sites... not sure if it meets your needs, but take a look.

MangoBery's developer is in BC, so if you need to chat with him the time
zones won't screw you up. ;-)

Oh, wait, I just checked... it's written in PHP, which may or may not be a
problem for you. Sorry about that!

what about squishdot? I believe that sits under plone.

I use CoreBlog (http://coreblog.org/) for my blog
(http://zope.vex.net/~mcfletch/plumbing/), it's very easy to use. Just
a product sitting in Zope, no CMS facilities (i.e. no workflow
mechanisms) that I've seen, but then you probably wouldn't want that for
something simple and blog-like.

Have fun,
Mike
