PyLucid

PyLucid is a free content management system. It is written in Python using the Django Web framework. The first version of PyLucid released 2005.
PyLucid has a web based installer, so the user needs no shell account. It's works on a standard webserver with Python (at least v2.4) CGI and one of the supported database engines (MySQL, SQLite3, Postgre, Oracle and MS-SQL). It is highly customizable via the powerful django template engine and CSS. It supports a Plugin API and has some interesting built in Plugins (a file manager, RSS etc.)
Target audience
PyLucid is made for simple web pages, like a private homepage. The target audience is technically engaged users, as opposed to the average user. Unlike many other CMS systems, PyLucid offers only basic functions provided by a typical web page, which makes it simpler to use. It does not make excessive demands of e.g. an unnecessary editorship system.
