Sorry! Trying to get the server back to normal and responsive. Give me a few minutes. :)

WP Super Cache is your friend. That, or Jekyll. :-)

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?

You may get away with having some forms of caching. Using python won't help given you have no caching.

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.

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.

There used to be Zine (http://zine.pocoo.org/) - it was basically WordPress in Python, but it never picked up sufficient community and now it's dead. Now, if you want a server-side blog in Python, the standard solution is to write one yourself in Django.
