Pycoon?

I've been casually following the list via the rss feed, not really  
having the time/skill to install and work with Syncato just yet (I'm  
waiting for an easy-to-use installer for OS X that allows me to use its  
default Apache installation).  However, this caught my attention from  
Kimbro:

I've become intrigued with the possibilities of using xml + xslt for  
content management.  It strikes me that the approach Kimbro outlines is  
not unlike that in Cocoon, or in Popoon -- a PHP-based analog.  Is that  
right?

BTW, I posted something that reflects why I'm interested in this stuff.  
  Hint: it's not really about the weblog.
