Pocoo is an open-source bulletin board software (aka message board) written in Python. Pocoo provides an advanced plugin system with a component architecture which allows other developers to modify Pocoo to their liking without the need to touch existing source code.
Because it uses SQLAlchemy, it is possible to use either MySQL, SQLite, Oracle or Postgres as the storage backend.
Pocoo is fully WSGI compatible, built with the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern in mind, and uses Jinja as a sandboxed template language. The minimum Python version for Pocoo is 2.4.
By now we are far from finished and we don't recommend using Pocoo in a productive environment!

· support for either flat or threaded post view
