how to build a forum in Python?

[kath]

Hi everybody,

I am planning to build a web portal, which is mainly a discussion
forum for our corporate environment. I want to implement it with
Python. Because this project is very new to me and I have no idea
about how to go about this. I searched in google for getting some tuts/
guidelines about this but ended up in getting tuts for building
website in PHP.

I would like to know some useful links to learn or some usefull
guidelines to build my fourm in Python.

Also is any forums which are built using Python?

I would appreciate your help,
Thanks in advance,
kath.

There are several different web frameworks in which a forum can be
implemented. Try to take a look at Django and Turbogear. You will need
to put some time into learning the framework.

But, if you want an easy "copy-paste" forum solution, I guess you will
be better of with one of the PHP open source forums.

Sounds like phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/) would do great. I'm not sure
why you want to go write another forum management tool when others are
already out there for usage. I know its not in python, but not
everything has to be in python.

thanks you all, for your reply. I want to do for my corporate
environment. I had two option one is Python and other is Perl. I came
to know Django is Python framework, so chose Python. Not only that I
would like to code in Python.


Thanks again,
kath.

Hi,

I think you should take a look at Karrigell : http://karrigell.sourceforge.net

It's a Python web framework and the package includes a forum
application
