Why No Python?

I'm just wondering why none of the systems on the short list were implemented in Python. It seems to me that Python is eminently suitable to the task, but nobody is using it. Why?

Poor homework by the editor? ;)

Just look at the talks in the Zope track at the upcoming EuroPython conference. http://www.europython.org

There are a whole bunch of CMSs based on Zope there.

Plone is maybe the most wellknown, but there also Silva, icoya, Kontentor, IKAARO etc.

Another Zope based contender is Easy Publisher, http://www.easypublisher.com/

Just wait a while, and there will be a few based on Twisted! See http://www.twistedmatrix.com/
