There was TextPress, which was renamed to Zine, a project that was started by Armin Ronacher who is also the author of Werkzeug, Flask, Jinja2 and a couple of other projects. The project ultimately died due to a lack of interest. At the time hosting solutions like Heroku didn't exist so you needed your own root server, blogging platforms were significantly easier to use and required no maintenance. Besides you can just go with a static blog which does the job just as well while being significantly cheaper and safer.
