Efendi Blog Engine

Efendi is a lightweight blogging engine running on Python via WSGI. It attempts to gather best-of-breed technologies (Mako templates, SQLAlchemy ORM, and Werkzeug WSGI tools) into a simple but functional interface.

• Apache interface via mod_wsgi
• Smooth, minimal UI with focus on performance
• RSS/Atom feed integration (items from feeds are shown embedded in blog entries)
• Integrated template editing functions
• reCAPTCHA integration
• Automated e-mail notifications to administrator
• Optional comment moderation
• User-defined fields for blog entries

Sources are available via git:

git clone git://teddy.antesonic.org/efendi.git efendi

Required Python modules include werkzeug, sqlalchemy, and mako. These may be downloaded in the standard fashion using easy_install. Python 2.5 or above is required.

Online viewing and snapshots are available via a gitweb interface.
