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.
The following projects are available but no more maintained:

See the [http://colorstudy.com/docs/shootout.html Web Framework shootout] where different Python WebProgramming frameworks are used to implement a bare bones wiki.  * [[https://github.com/osborne6/luminotes|Luminotes]] -- a WYSIWYG personal wiki notebook for organizing your notes and ideas. (2014)
 * [[https://github.com/zacharyvoase/markdoc|Markdoc]] -- a lightweight Markdown-based Wiki system, public domain. (Claimed as inactive)
 * [[https://leastfixedpoint.com/tonyg/kcbbs/projects/pyle.html|Pyle]] -- GPL wiki with multiple VCS backends, email notifications, edit by FTP and lot of other features. (2012)
 * [[http://infomesh.net/pwyky/|Pwyky]] -- WyPy's big brother, by the same author. (2004)

The following projects are not available anymore:

 * Wiki:CyberPublishing -- a wiki-based web publishing framework written in Python; GPL

 * Wiki:MonkeyWiki -- another Wiki:PikiPiki fork that claims to be simple to install/use, single file, very flexible templating, rewrite-friendly.
 * [[http://wiki.webwareforpython.org/thiswiki|Not-Yet-Named Wiki]] -- runs on Webware. Supports static publishing, WYSIWYG editing, [[reStructuredText|reStructuredText]]
