Shrubxery - A python implementation of blosxom

So Leslie emailed me the other day asking for some help with setting up a blog for her that would let her run a photo blog, I guess her current blogger didn't allow for images. So we decided to setup blosxom. I had been meaning to base one of my projects at work on blosxom's plugin architecture, only blosxom is a perl script and I'm doing my work in python. So after looking at blosxom a bit more I was thinking about how hard it might be to re-write it comletely in python, and I had some free time this weekend so... I translated the code into python.

Shrubxery is a basic blogging system adapted from blosxom. The main idea is that the blogger is only a single, simple script that can basically only display text files, which are the blog entries. But the plugins give the blogger its power, and the plugin architecture allows the plugins to be powerful. It's pretty cool, really.

I started a sourceforge project here and the shrubxery home page is here. I'm still writing most of the documentation.

btw, did I mention that I plan on replacing this movable type install (that's what all the buffmuther blogs run off of) with the shrubxery...?
