Maybe also look at the post: Instant press 2.1.0 holiday edition Having installed my first CMS using Joomla, my albums using Gallery2, and having more recently used Drupal, I think most if not all Python based CMS's are still very much "programmer's products", have not yet reached the plug and play level of Joomla. Web2Py as framework certainly seems the easiest to install and to get something up and running with, but I have the feeling I will have to do a bit more reading than with Joomla, and even than Drupal even though that does have a bit more of a learning curve, before I understand how to get the current basic CMS solutions to approach the capabilities of a Drupal or Joomla christmas tree filled with modules and plug-ins.
