+1 for Django
Thinking about it, I should just qualify my previous note a bit. As a python web app. framework I think Django is great. As a content management system (CMS) / community site system I think Plone and I suspect Drupal are more mature / feature complete. I'm using django-cms and I really like it for developing a website which looks like a "regular website", i.e. doesn't present itself as a community site with members and postings. I've used Plone for more "community driven" sites, and it's been kind of a PITA because when things don't work / need tweaking it takes forever to work out how (although I'm sure it's only a learning curve issue, no doubt Plone is very easy for Plone gurus). But it does have a full set of features and a non-tech. friendly interface.
There are django plugins for blogs / wikis / message boards etc. etc. but I don't think there's a single install turnkey system like you get with Plone (despite my not liking it) and I think Drupal (which I don't really know).
