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 in the [http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/WebProgramming#head-9d0636d6da8e88f8f09de1454c5961b44183b04d templating section] of the WebProgramming page. 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.
 * Wiki:CMFWiki -- a Wiki:ZwiKi variant; old but compatible with Zope's CMF (Content Management Framework).
 * Wiki:CyberPublishing -- a wiki-based web publishing framework written in Python; GPL
 * InterFlow -- runs with ModPython
 * [[http://luminotes.com/|Luminotes]] -- a WYSIWYG personal wiki notebook for organizing your notes and ideas
 * MoinMoin -- A PythonLanguage SourceForge project, based on Wiki:PikiPiki - runs as cgi, [[http://fastcgi.com/|FastCGI]], ModPython, Twisted or with standalone server, extensible design - everything is a plugin, lots of plugins and large community of users (including this web site), GPL.
 * [[http://frotz.net/sakana/space/mojibake|mojibake]] -- based on [[http://frotz.net/sakana/space/home|Sakana]], runs with ModPython
 * Wiki:MonkeyWiki -- Simple install/use, single file, very flexible templating, rewrite-friendly (based on Wiki:PikiPiki)
 * [[http://wiki.webwareforpython.org/thiswiki|Not-Yet-Named Wiki]] -- runs on Webware. Supports static publishing, WYSIWYG editing, ReStructuredText. Still in rapid initial development phase (as of Apr 2004).
 * Wiki:PikiePikie -- Python-based, lets you put a Wiki:WebLog on any page (based on Wiki:PikiPiki)
 * Wiki:PikiPiki -- Python-based, will run completely standalone
 * [[http://infomesh.net/pwyky/|Pwyky]] -- WyPy's big brother, by the same author.
 * Wiki:PyleWiki -- Python-based, optional CVS backend, Unix-like rwxrwxrwx permissions on pages
 * Wiki:PyWiki -- Python-based, uses RCS, GPL license (development stalled)
 * [[http://mdev.sourceforge.net/jesse/sliki/|Sliki]] -- runs with ModPython
 * [[http://sct.sphene.net/|Sphene Community Tools]] -- Django based wiki and forum applications.
 * [[http://projectsycamore.org|Sycamore]] -- seems to have roots in 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 and issue tracking system for software development projects. Supports MoinMoin-style, ReStructuredText, html, and [[http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/|textile]] as markup formats. Runs as cgi, [[http://fastcgi.com/|FastCGI]], ModPython, or with standalone server. Pluggable architecture with focus on simplicity.
 * [[http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/WikiForNow/|WikiForNow]] -- an old Wiki:ZwiKi variant; used at zope.org; was meant to get a number of improvements implemented quickly, but has not evolved with usage patterns
 * Wiki:WikiNehesa -- Many features, including images, headerbars, TEXT centering, image inventory/previewer, image uploader. Modular. $FREE$. GNU GPL.
 * Wiki:WyPy -- a Wiki:ShortestWikiContest contender, 23-, 18-, and 11-line versions.
