If you're thinking of going with a python based CMS, you might want to check out Django (djangoproject.com).
I actually stumbled into PyCon when I was in Argentina, just because I met someone on the subway who was wearing a copyleft shirt and I was wearing a BSD shirt (both black of course) and he said I should go.
I've spent a while learning Drupal, and I'm finally getting good at it, but going to PyCon really makes me want to learn Python. I learned there that people are still using Zope, but it's old school. Well I was talking with the lead developer with django, so he could have been biased =) The other keynote speaker was from google, working on making python faster. He said google primarily uses three languages C++, Java, and python. Youtube is built with python.
Take a look at Plone, too (www.plone.org). It has all you want out of the box, a strong developer community, open source, and Python based. Very secure (I think it says on the site somewhere that Plone/Zope have never been hacked, but I can't swear to it). It has a strong international following, and many big users in the US (the CIA comes to mind and Animal Planet?) (http://plone.net/sites/sites_listing?countries%3Alist=). I beleive it is in use at some ASU sites (I found David Bear @ College of Public Programs at ASU on one of the user groups email list) I have been using it for several years for clients, and they are very happy with it. Easy to maintain and modify, but I will say it has a learning curve to understand what a Zope based CMS is all about). YMMV.

I really like wordpress so far, but I was wondering about joomla or drupal. The site is asuasce.com, so if you want to check it out then you can do so. What I want the site to to so far is have different pages (as seen on the site). I also want to make sure that the site looks like the current one with the sparky logo on the upper left hand corner. But I am fine keeping up with the current site (which was build from the web hosting's basic web editor).
