Python, Perl, & BBSes

[Thomas]

There is a perl program in "Matt's Script Archive" called wwwboard.pl
which, as you might guess, creates a simple but powerful threaded
message board for websites. Has anyone out there either: translated
this to python (I need to implement something like this in python in a
short period of time and don't have time to learn perl); come up with
an automated perl-python translation tool; or found/written a good
python based bbs which does not rely on an external database?

Many, many thanks
Thomas
