pycms is a minimalist component-based Web Content Management System based on CherryPy. It has most of the goodies of Plone/Zope: Python instead of a PHP security mess, no MySQL can of worms, clean separation of code and content, and the ability to run nicely behind a Web server/cache/load balancer. In addition, it features plain text storage of all site contents and settings in JSON files, effortless theming, and a small memory footprint.
