I agree. Nevertheless....

to that add...

SilvaForum - sounds ok, looking for a demo
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.SilvaForum/0.3.1

dinette - sounds ok, looking for a demo
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dinette/1.2a

...I'm not looking for a framework framework framework. I find it
odd there is no demo with these apps, only abstractions of the
code function.

I'm leaning toward 

OSQA - Perhaps this will serve a forum and ticket system
http://www.osqa.net/

askbot - neat but maybe too complicated?
http://askbot.org/en/questions/

maybe Q&A (support) + wiki is the answer.

One of the more difficult queries.... "python forum"
mostly I get forums for some software project. best
results where from queries on python.org.
