_Updated 5/4/2007._

[index.py](/space/index.py) is a [PyBlosxom](http://pyblosxom.sf.net/) plugin
that displays displays an alphabetical index of all entries. It's similar to
[other](http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/blog/registry/archives/pyarchives)
[index](http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/blog/registry/archives/wbgarchives)
[plugins](http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/blog/registry/category/pycategories),
except that it indexes the entries by name, instead of by date.

As an example, here's the [index](/site-index) for this site.

There are number of config parameters available to customize index.py's
behavior, all optional. Here they are, along with their defaults:

    py['index_trigger']            = '/site-index'
    py['index_num_columns']        = 2
    py['index_letters_first']      = True
    py['index_title']              = 'index'
    py['index_use_story_template'] = True
