Django Comments and Rating Systems

Question

I am looking for a blogging and comments system that can smoothly integrate with my Django sites. I've found there is a lot on the Net and got lost a bit, and I don't have much experience on this. Hope you guys can give me some suggestions.

Here are the things that I would like to have:

• Tag Clouds
• Articles Archive (by months/by years)
• Articles Rating (e.g. with Stars or customize icons)
• Comments to the particular Topic/Articles
• Sub-Comments of a particular comments (i.e. following up comments)
• Blogs/Articles Searching
• Able to relate other articles that is relevant (i.e. follow up Articles)
• Pagination of the comments if get too long
• OpenIDs supports (e.g. facebook, hotmail, blogger, twitter...etc)
• Support login before user can comments
• Able to retrieve Blogs' Header and customized the display order
• Able to subscribe this article to RSS
• Able to Email this to friends (this may not belongs to the comments system)

If I missed some common functions, please let me know. The comments system I am looking for should do most jobs that those popular comments system should do on the web, e.g. WordPress.

Thank you so much everyone. Have a nice day.

I myself really like django-threadedcomments. It supports threaded commenting like what you would see in Disqus.
