Most of them being of very poor quality...

I'm not sure integrating CakePHP stuff into something like Joomla or 
Drupal will be that easy.

The most advanced Python-based CMS so far is still Plone. But it's a 
monstruosity.

If you want Python and easy integration, you'd probably be happier with 
Pylons. While far from finished, it's very promising, and less 
monolithic than Django.

My 2 cents...
