Score: 77/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 5077, "days_push": 8, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
The Django-based source code that powers the official python.org website, built with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery. It is maintained by the Python Software Foundation and serves as the reference implementation of the site's content management and community features.

## Use cases
- contribute to the python.org website
- run a local copy of python.org for development
- study how a large Django site is structured
- fix a bug on python.org
- learn Django patterns from a production codebase
- set up the python.org CMS locally

## When to choose
- you want to contribute to or fix issues on python.org
- you need a real-world Django/PostgreSQL/Celery reference codebase
- you are working on PSF web infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you want the CPython interpreter itself (use python/cpython)
- you need Python documentation source (docs.python.org lives in CPython)
- you are looking for a reusable website framework or starter template

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, caching, testing, ci-cd
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: python
- tags: django, postgresql, redis, celery, python-software-foundation, website, web-server, docker, linux
