I would really really like a canned community/cms site written in python
without zope. It’s pretty much php, perl, or zope in that world. A fine
example of the Law of Conservation Of Misery.

So I’m poking at a web site for the 919noise group. At the moment, I’m
using software called phpWebSite. Which is fairly nice. Aside from that
one problem of it being written in php. Everytime I think about editing
the code to tweak the behavior, I track down the appropriate source
file, open it, look at it, and then my eyes glaze over. At some point
later I close the file with as hopefully as little brain damage induced
as possible.
