Planetplanet [4] is simply a weblog aggregator written in python. It is executed as a cronjob and fetches content from all the weblogs it has been asked to, postprocesses and aggregates them into a single html file (based on a template), and outputs that html content to an area provided by a webserver. This should allow for ease of integration with any existing infrastructure.
Planetplanet is configurable through a single configuration file, which lists the log feed URL, real name and user name for each contributing developer.
