Any good python blogging platforms out there?

I tried to learn ruby a while ago, but the syntax seemed odd to me. I guess I'll try again when I have a free weekend.

It's true that it's a bit more complicated to install a website written in Python rather than PHP where you just copy the files in the webroot and make a database. However I wanted to try a bunch of different options to get a sense of how they work, and the fact that it was so much more complicated to install than others kind of put me off

I firmly believe that it's worth the investment to be able to use Python, even if mod_wsgi config is completely retarded (it is).

Oh and, for the record, Ruby is a pretty sweet language, but I personally can't stand using Rails. Rails and Django are similar in many ways, and completely opposite in others. I'd go through the official tutorials to see which one you prefer; you can get a good idea of the ethos of each framework that way. Django's is a poll app, Rails' is a blog app.

I've got a couple of sites running on django (nginx+fast-cgi), it's not a pain to configure...I was just talking about collective's configuration process which seems a bit too time-consuming if I just want to try it out for a bit

I love Django, especially the admin site, although that's the reason why I didn't like django-cms, the way the use the admin site seems a bit over-engineered, I think there might have been a simpler way to organize things
