Yes, there is. I put the same page in different machines in different
directories (for example in http://myhouse/ and http://mywork/~barrera/,
etc).

That's not the problem. The $base_url symbols is well parsed in my
head.flav and foot.flav files, but in any some_history.txt is not. The
HTML code generated by  pyblosxom looks like this: <img
src="$base_url/images" />

I think this is not such bad idea (or a strange one). It is easy of
write news in both (or three, four, etc) languages in this way because

- you have the same html code in the same place
- when you change something in one language you don't have to look for
the other language, it's just there
- you don't have two pages with two directory trees or whatever, you
have just one

The principal page can be configured in the config.py file. When you ask
for http://anywhere.com/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/mypage, pyblosxom shows
the default language. If you put a parameter in the call, like
http://anywhere.com/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/mypage?lang=other pyblosxom
should show the other language. 

Links can always be to the same language and you could put a link to the
same page with other language. 

If there is no support for bilingual pages in pyblosxom I could do it,
once I'll have my normal page working.

I think this is a good idea.
