So, what's the WordPress equivalent in Python?

[StavrosK]

Wagtail.

There's also a very nice library that can dump all the pages from Wagtail into a static site which you can then just copy to a CDN, giving you the best of both worlds: The ease of publishing of dynamic sites and the speed/ease of deployment of static sites.

[wordpressdev]

Wagtail looks good. Wonder what's the learning curve from someone coming from WordPress development background.

Jekyll or Django, or a hybrid?

[armandososa]

Not even close. That's like saying that the alternative to Photoshop is C++.

[vonseel]

Agreed. Django gives you the tools to build applications, wordpress is a point and click setup for most people. The users are extremely different audiences.

[mgkimsal]

That might be a bit harsh. Closer comparison might be photoshop to gimp?

[vonseel]

Not really. Gimp is still an image editor.

Django is your GUI/imaging framework and libraries if you’re going to make that comparison.

[giancarlostoro]

Jekyll is closer to Wordpress but Django is a library / framework so Photoshop to C++ is kinda close, but a little too far.

[mgkimsal]

I'm thinking "django cms", not just django - sorry. colleague of mine has been doing a lot of work in django cms the last year and I conflate the two sometimes :)

[armandososa]

Huh. Django cms actually looks pretty nice.

[giancarlostoro]

Ah makes more sense.
