Trac - More Than Project Management
edgewall.org is a place where a community of software developers collaborate on creating exciting open source software based on the Python programming language. It is best known for the popular web-based project management tool Trac.
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
Where to start ?
How about starting with the core component model and work out to pluggable component 'realms' ?
Or maybe wrestle with the wiki parser/formatter to create a powerful, light-weight and Pythonic version of MediaWiki ?
Or go all the way and build a configuration knowledge base with an integrated process manager ? Or even a distributed document management system ?
I just can't decide.
Trac has 'good bones'. BSD licence.

.... Trac Installation Guide for 1.3 ... Trac uses the Jinja2 templating system :-) ... Python version >= 2.7 and < 3.0 :-( ...
Jinja2 from Pocoo/Flask
Jinja will be easier to use, but I hope Genshi continues to be developed. It's got really solid XML features that are ( more or less ) unique in the Python world.

Deploying Trac as CGI
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracCgi
CGI script is the entrypoint that web-server calls when a web-request to an application is made. To generate the trac.cgi script run:
trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /path/to/www/trac
trac.cgi will be in the cgi-bin folder inside the given path. Make sure it is executable by your web server.
This command also copies static resource files to a htdocs directory of a given destination.

A new macro [[Cards(...)]] shows a whiteboard containing index cards organized in stacks. Adding new cards interactively by clicking a button, move cards by drag-and-drop and double-click cards for editing or deleting.
Cards are stored in a new table in the Trac database.

Genshi Templating
Can Genshi do template 'matching' like XPath ? Can Genshi do it efficiently ?
The answer to both these questions is 'Yes'.
Genshi has great XML Include and XML Path support, unlike any other Python templating system I have encountered. If you are looking for a powerful XML templating system for a complex application or web site implemented in Python, this is probably it.
