Pinax is an open source platform for rapidly developing websites, based on the Django web application framework, written in Python.[4] and created by James Tauber.
It came out of an effort to further the use of reusable apps, to make a more accessible bundle of the many components already available for Django,[5] and enabling rapid development of different kinds of web sites.
During its initial development, Pinax was used to create a social networking web site, later spun off as Cloud27.[6]
Pinax is influential in the Django community, being used e.g. to build the DjangoCon and PyCon web sites. [7] It could be seen as a competitor to large, open source, content management frameworks such as Drupal and Plone.[8][9]
Pinax was initially announced with the name Tabula Rasa,[10] but it was changed to Pinax a few days later.[11]
