There is another project worth mentioning not on the Python wiki blog software page, mezzanine. Built on top of Django, it certainly angles to be an all encompassing blog solution, and even lets you import your old wordpress posts (if you wanted to migrate). Django is a great project in general, so it gives you a good base to do anything you want.
If you are just interested in throwing together a blog, or a site which will have similarly static content, you might want to check out hyde, which is a static site generator, similar to ruby’s jekyll. It’s a pretty neat approach.
