There are at least 3 Python oriented web apps out there.
I highly recommend you ditch Joomla as soon as you can.

joomla has a lot of security issues, and I've been trying to get
my friend off of this POS for the longest time.  Her web sites
are constantly getting defaced...  there are at least 3 Joomla
exploits I know of out there.

djangoproject.org
turbogears.com
plone.org

Check these out.   But get off of Joomla as soon as you can.
I admit,  Joomla is easy to use I admit,  but very easy to vector into
a root exploit.
