There's something like this in 'Python: How to Program'
(Deitel).  It's XML based, using Python.  It presumes you
have a web server (e.g. Apache) available, and are using
Python as your cgi language.  Very simple message board.
The book itself is fairly spendy (like $85).  I see Amazon
has some used:

I worked as one of the technical reviewers on this one.
One of my complaints was that several chapters have little
to do with Python.  That's because it's part of a series
across several languages and some of the stuff they just
recycle.
