-Trac is a lightweight project management tool that is implemented as a web-based application. Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database (either [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [http://mysql.com/ MySQL] works). For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://www.clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver] templating system.

      ClearSilver up to 10.3 and Python 2.5 don't seem to get along, so you'll probably have more luck with Python 2.4.  Note about it in [http://www.mail-archive.com/trac-dev@googlegroups.com/msg00034.html this mail exchange].
