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.
