So, what's the WordPress equivalent in Python?

Wagtail.

There's also a very nice library that can dump all the pages from Wagtail into a static site which you can then just copy to a CDN, giving you the best of both worlds: The ease of publishing of dynamic sites and the speed/ease of deployment of static sites.

Wagtail looks good. Wonder what's the learning curve from someone coming from WordPress development background.

Jekyll or Django, or a hybrid?

Not even close. That's like saying that the alternative to Photoshop is C++.

That might be a bit harsh. Closer comparison might be photoshop to gimp?

Jekyll is closer to Wordpress but Django is a library / framework so Photoshop to C++ is kinda close, but a little too far.

I'm thinking "django cms", not just django - sorry. colleague of mine has been doing a lot of work in django cms the last year and I conflate the two sometimes :)

Ah makes more sense.

Huh. Django cms actually looks pretty nice.

Not really. Gimp is still an image editor.

Django is your GUI/imaging framework and libraries if you’re going to make that comparison.

Agreed. Django gives you the tools to build applications, wordpress is a point and click setup for most people. The users are extremely different audiences.
