About PyBlosxom

Originally started as a Python clone of Blosxom but has since evolved into a beast of its own. Pyblosxom focuses on three things:

  • Simplicity - uses the file system for all of its data storage
  • Extensibility - most of the functionality is derived from its plugin framework
  • Community - several hundred PyBlosxom users who have different needs, and work in different computing environments
  • Hackable - easy to write plug-ins and tweak functionality

PyBlosxom got its name and inspiration from Rael Dornfest's Blosxom, which is written in Perl. In fact, there are a number of other Blosxom like packages written in various languages. All of the members of this family of blogging packages share the filesystem model and a plugin architecture of some sort.
