My thoughs about CMS (they all sucks). They are maintains by the one who put them in place (prog side and content side), so you gonna find challenge in bringing someone to maintain the content in it out of IT and in IT you will find it difficult to find someone who wants maintain the content... So their only purpose is not having to recall the CSS to apply to each piece of the content to not break the visual of the much simple traditional web site that you could create to handle the limited content that will ever be publish in the CMS...
I might be a bit rough about CMS here, but I had been a big believer back in the 2000's (2002-3 and the couples of years after that until I stumble on RoR and discover frameworks paradigm)... Frameworks make just more sens as you can craft only what you need and extend them as much as you need... Now I am not saying to remplace CMS by custom app is always a good idea, as it is a waste of time recreate WordPress, Drupal et al. But I am advocate that you evaluate the need for a CMS carefull and write down the client real requirements and what the expect, if they expect you to handle the design and content and the site they expect is pretty simple... CMS is a bad idea... As they are difficult to design to look different than the competition... If the needs are so specific that you will end customizing with a bunch of plugin a Word Press installation and make it a nightmare to maintain over time, I say, your client need you service as an app developer and frameworks are you best bet... About Python CMS, I recall the venerable Plone to be one of the only back in time, still is I guess... On Django side you can get many CMS Django applications I would look there for modern CMS... But again, most risk of not be exactly what you want and require a lot of customization...
