Hello all, I'm announcing python-markdown2 -- another Python implementation of Markdown. (MIT license.)
http://code.google.com/p/python-markdown2/ It should be a drop-in replacement for [markdown.py](http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/). It fixes some issues that I ran into with markdown.py [^1]. I believe that it is faster than markdown.py [^2] and on par or a little faster than Markdown.pl. It is basically a re-write of Markdown.pl in Python and generally generates the *exact same* output as Markdown.pl. There is a fairly extensive test suite [^3] -- including testing with some of the "MarkdownTest" and "MDTest" test suites. I've also started on implementing some of the common extras [^4] (some patches from Adam Gomaa). I welcome any feedback. Cheers, Trent [^1]: I had tried a long while back to send some bug reports/patches to Yuri (I believe the maintainer of markdown.py), but my emails bounced. Unfortunately I didn't notice the discuss list of sourceforge at the time. I'll send those out soon, Yuri, if you are listening.
