Pocoo

Pocoo is an open-source bulletin board software (aka message board) written in Python. It provides an advanced plugin system with a component architecture which allows other developers to modify Pocoo to their liking without the need to touch existing source code. Because it uses SQLAlchemy, it is possible to use either MySQL, SQLite, Oracle or Postgres as the storage backend.

It's Blog also based on Pocoo.
