I seem to arrive at a python solution for everything I do at the moment:-

Which is actually a rewrite of Blosxom which is actually Perl based, but there you go ;)
I keep meaning to get to grips with Python at some point because I want to do some scripting for Scribus, but haven't actually found the time yet :(
python is rather useful, first experiences I had with it was mostly MJ Ray's fault (that bastard!) back at UEA when we had a Moop[1] setup - that was fun. Then we started using Zope for www.stu.uea.ac.uk (back in the days before there was a full time "student union webmaster", when most of stu.uea.ac.uk was running off of a box called "rabbit"), I then moved on to writing perl for a fair number of years before returning to python - and now I'd *much* rather write things in python than in perl, not least of all because when you come back to the python a year later you can actually still read it!
Exactly! Perl abbreviates and defaults so much that it's very difficult to follow what it's doing.
