Subject: Python powered blogging software
What do you folks reckon is the best python powered blogging software
out there?

I have been running a heavily hacked copy of vellum for years now, but
it would be nice to run
something where im not the only developer, on the other hand I want to
stick with a python based engine
as my own blog is a fun project to hack on from time to time. I dont
really mind what web framework
it uses, or its feature set. Just something usable today, in python
would be nice.

Cheers

Sean

I don't have a definitive answer to this question, see below for more.

I think one reason you don't see many new python blogging tools any
more (apart from people releasing the software powering their own
site) is that most folks seem to be happy to write their own using one
of the frameworks. I suspect most people's first serious experiment
with a web framework is a blog, so everyone has got one they've
written from scratch.

Taking a small blogging tool written for a single person or small
group and polishing it up to a generally usable tool takes quite a bit
of work.

For example I have a blogging tool I've written for an internal
company site. I'm generally quite happy with it but again it'd take a
bit of work to make it more generally usable (in particular removing
all my company specific bits and unit tests). On the other hand, it
has a motley collection of utilities and tools which would be useful.

I think a kit of components and a good web framework would let someone
snap together a blog matching their tastes pretty quickly. Now I
really need to release some of my stuff...
