Ask HN: A flexible python based cms

[sharmi]

Hi, I would like to know if there is a flexible cms where i can define my own content type.

It would typically be title Image description level date tags

For a given tag, the cms should generate a page with all custom objects that have the tag automatically (or with minimal manual intervention). The objects should be sortable on the relevant fields.

I should also have the option of writing some content and including some of the objects, in which case, the objects should be auto-formatted based on some predefined template. Is there any cms that can do this with some minimal customizations or is it better to roll my own based on django/flask?

Thank you.

Kotti[0] and SubstanceD[1] are two pyramid-based CMSs that I've played with some. You could do what you are talking about pretty easily in either one.

Drupal. Google 'headless Drupal' and you'll find some interesting implementations.

There was just a Meetup on this in SF last night. I missed it. I'm hearing good things about it though and probably missed out on a good opportunity to see it discussed live.

Thank you theiowan, but 'headless Drupal' might be an overkill for my project. Thanks for the input.

django-cms is pretty tried and tested.
