Hacker News has been an education for me about how many people don't realize that WordPress will destroy their server without caching.
On that subject, anyone know of good blogging software written in python?

Though not written in Python, I'm a fan of Jekyll ( https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll ). You write your entries in Markdown, it converts them to HTML, sets up links and embedded content, and then publishes them to your server via Git to be served up by Apache, Nginx, etc.
Seems to be down: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:johnkar...
Sorry! Trying to get the server back to normal and responsive. Give me a few minutes. :)
The next thing Google will cache is your maintenance message.
You should serve those messages with HTTP 503, not HTTP 200.

You may get away with having some forms of caching. Using python won't help given you have no caching.
I haven't seen any blogging platforms written in Python that requires hundreds of queries to render a homepage like Wordpress does in PHP. If your site is running on a single modest server, needs 190 queries to render a page, has zero caching, and gets a spike in traffic then it will go down like a sack of bricks. That same scenario with <10 queries is a completely different story.

If your site is only a blog, then you really should only be using Jekyll or Hyde to generate it. Having a backend is pretty overkill.
But it seems like static site generators became a fad recently, like Rails a few years ago, and this makes me slightly skeptical. It's always suspicious when somebody claims there is only one right way to do something. When it comes to me, feel free to have a backend for your blog. This certainly has some advantages, just don't forget about performance.
Or just use a hosted service. TMTOWTDI.
