I did a pyblosxom backport today. Easy job (using dependencies from backports.org), just replace all occurrences of python2.3 by python2.2 in the debian/ subdir…

After a couple of hours toying around with pyblosxom i got it mostly working like i want to. The real blog move is delayed by two things:

First of all, all my blog guids will change. I don’t want to fill up planet.debian.org again… any idea (except dropping my old entries)?

Secondly, i’d like to have a multi-user blog. That is, i need to modify pyblosxom to change the data dir (and some preferences) depending on some parameter. With blosxom (perl) i used an environment variable.

Also i’d like to provide blogging API support for other users: they don’t have ssh access, and many find it difficult to ftp… Having a webui would help, too - but for both i need to enable write access for the web server. Having pyblosxom run as fastcgi or so would be cool.
