Web Applications in Python

Numerous widely-deployed Web applications have been written in Python, some employing technologies found on the WebFrameworks page, others providing much of the technology themselves (and potentially spawning a new framework later on in their existence). The following lists comprise a non-exhaustive collection of such Web applications.

Note that Internet sites "powered by Python" which aren't downloadable and redeployable should be listed elsewhere (see WellKnownPythonPrograms) - this page is concerned with applications which can be downloaded, studied, customised, run locally, run on an intranet or on the Internet, or used as the basis for other applications.
