Here is a list of known Python-based Wiki:WikiEngines.  * [[http://hatta-wiki.org/|Hatta]] -- a Wiki which runs out of a Mercurial repository whose pages are just the files in that repository
 * [[https://github.com/zacharyvoase/markdoc|Markdoc]] -- a lightweight Markdown-based Wiki system, public domain
 * [[MoinMoin|MoinMoin]] -- an evolution over Wiki:PikiPiki that you're using now - multiple ways to run, plugin-based architecture with lots of plugins and large community, GPL
 * Wiki:MonkeyWiki -- another Wiki:PikiPiki fork that claims to be simple to install/use, single file, very flexible templating, rewrite-friendly
 * [[http://infomesh.net/pwyky/|Pwyky]] -- WyPy's big brother, by the same author.
 * [[http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/tonyg/projects/pyle.html|Pyle]] -- GPL wiki with multiple VCS backends, email notifications, edit by FTP and lot of other features
 * [[https://bitbucket.org/prologic/sahriswiki/|sahriswiki]] -- Mercurial backend support, plugins, MIT licensed.
 * [[http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/smug/|Smug]] - GPLed content editing system with moderation queue.
 * [[http://sct.sphene.net/|Sphene Community Tools]] -- Django based wiki and forum applications.
 * [[http://projectsycamore.org/|Sycamore]] -- seems to have roots in [[MoinMoin|MoinMoin]], but looks a little slicker while not as full featured. Uses a Postgesql or MySQL backend. GPL
 * [[http://trac.edgewall.org/|Trac]] -- an enhanced wiki, issue tracking and source code browser system. Supports multiple markup formats including [[MoinMoin|MoinMoin]], [[reStructuredText|reStructuredText]], html, and [[http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/|textile]]. Runs as [[http://fastcgi.com/|FastCGI]], WSGI or standalone. Pluggable architecture with focus on simplicity.
 * Wiki:WyPy -- a Wiki:ShortestWikiContest contender, 23-, 18-, and 11-line versions.
 * [[http://www.zim-wiki.org/|zim-wiki]] - WYSIWIG personal/desktop wiki with index, links, image inclusion, checkboxes and bulleted lists, equations, graphviz; calendar, [[ToDo|ToDo]]; prints to clean html. Customizable, all-python over gtk2, inbuilt-server, uses filesystem as db; debian packaged. Documentation. Actively developed 2012.
 * Wiki:ZwiKi -- based in Wiki:ZoPe, powerful, GPL.
Line 5: Line 18:
 * Wiki:CMFWiki -- a ZwiKi variant; old but compatible with Zope's CMF (Content Management Framework).
 * Wiki:CyberPublishing -- a wiki-based web publishing framework written in Python; GPL
 * MoinMoin -- A PythonLanguage SourceForge project, based on PikiPiki (VNIHF)
 * Wiki:PyWiki -- Python-based, uses RCS, GPL license
 * Wiki:PikiPiki -- Python-based, will run completely standalone
 * Wiki:PikiePikie -- Python-based, lets you put a '''WebLog''' on any page (based on PikiPiki)
 * Wiki:PyleWiki -- Python-based, optional CVS backend, Unix-like rwxrwxrwx permissions on pages
 * Wiki:WikiForNow -- a ZwiKi variant; used at zope.org
 * Wiki:WikiNehesa -- Many features, including images, headerbars, TEXT centering, image inventory/previewer, image uploader. Modular. $FREE$. GNU GPL.
 * Wiki:WyPy -- a ShortestWikiContest contender, 23 lines
 * Wiki:ZwiKi -- ZoPe-based, powerful, GPL.

= Comments, Ratings, Reviews, Wishlists =

Elements for building a full-featured wiki engine:
 * ''Page templating system like [http://smarty.php.net/ Smarty].'' Possible options include [http://www.alcyone.com/pyos/empy/ EmPy] or others listed at WebProgramming [http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebProgramming#head-9d0636d6da8e88f8f09de1454c5961b44183b04d here]. Which one would you recommend?
 * ''Cache HTML versions of pages for faster loading.'' Ideally the page templating tool would handle cacheing.
 * ''User Authentication.'' A user authentication system perhaps integrated with MySQL or possibly even LDAP. Allow for different user groups and permission levels. Any recommendations?
 * ''Database Integration.'' Can store data in mysql, postgresql, etc. or work without a database.
 * ''Easy Install.'' Works completely in Python, and installs in one folder location. Doesn't necessarily require a database or mod_python. Doesn't require root privileges for install.
 * ''Small but Scalable.'' Doesn't require a huge server to run.

See the [http://colorstudy.com/docs/shootout.html Web Framework shootout] where different Python WebProgramming frameworks are used to implement a bare bones wiki.
