Does anyone know of a simple social network type of site that can be easily customised?

It should suck, but in the sense the blosxom sucks in this article: http://www.plover.com/blog/oops/blosxom-sux.html

I.e. take the "Worse-is-Better" approach, and try to cover most of the main features, more or less, while keeping the implementation as simple as possible.

Ideally it would be in python because I know python.

What type of customization do you need? have you considered a Ning site? Not sure if it'll help, but here is another post on stackoverflow that has a few that could be of interest to you :-) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/48320/best-ruby-on-rails-social-networking-framework

It's not really customisation. I need to build a whole site - social networking is only a part of it. I'm just wondering if there is something out there someone has written that can start me off, so I don't need login/logout, change password, password reminder, add friend, approve friend etc.

I think elgg, an open source social networking engine, is what you're asking for.
