Spirit is a modern forum application built with Python and the Django framework, installable via pip as django-spirit. It provides a full-featured discussion board that can be added to any Django project.
Use cases
- add a forum to my django site
- self-host a discussion board
- create a community forum in python
- embed a comment and topic board in a web app
- replace php forums like phpbb with a python stack
When to choose
- you are already using Django and want an integrated forum
- you want a self-hosted, MIT-licensed forum with active maintenance
- you prefer PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite-backed Python deployments
When to avoid
- you need a standalone forum without Django
- you want a headless or JavaScript-based forum frontend
- you need massively scaled forum hosting out of the box
