python-forum source language
#1
What is the python-forum websites' source language (I hope it's Python)?
And is it open source(doesn't seem like it)?

PHP - we didn't build the forum software.
Yes, mybb is open source.

And we've looked into a forum written in Python. There isn't a good one available, and attempts to write one did not go anywhere.

The forum looked similar to flaskbb, so I thought python was used.[started learning PHP, already hate it]

Well if you guys start writing one, I think people will contribute.

We have attempted one before, but everyone lost interest eventually

Is there any interest in continuing that?  I've been looking for an excuse to learn Angular...
Although, I think I hate mongo for this, so I'd probably want to rewrite the database layer.  Specifically, I'd want to just write a wrapper over the database mybb uses, so it can run side-by-side to the real forum, on a read-only basis, while the kinks were worked out.

I wouldnt mind jumping in. Not sure how much i can contribute though. Plus that is not my area of expertise. But i would love to see one day this forum run in python.

EDIT:
I would have to admit after watching mybb develop. The amount of work for MyBB is massive. I couldnt imagine the amount of work must be involved to undertake creating a forum from scratch.

This would be a must. The only worry i have is any security leak bugs in the python read only that we havent identified leaving the real database vulnerable.

That's only an issue if it's actually live.  I was just going to run it with an older backup of the forum locally (or on one of my private servers).  It doesn't really make sense for joe-user to be able to log into something that they can't also make posts on, lol
