There is. Sort of. Python-Markdown has an extension interface [1].
There's a number already available and its fairly easy to write your
own. I've slowly been adding many of php extra's features [2].
Unfortunately, some things are still hard, but were working to fix
that.

I've recently been asked to join the project and am currently knocking
out known bugs. Once those are out of the way, I'll focus on making
extending the 'core' functions easier. If you'd like to help, or
have
any feature requests, please bring them up on the project-list [3]
and/or tracker [4]. I follow this list too, so here's fine as well.

PS: We had intended on making an official announcement, but wanted to
clean some things up first. But when opportunity knocks... Well, let's
just say I felt compelled to respond.

The python markdown project had been stagnating until recently due to
the lack of time on my part.  Waylan now agreed to start helping out
with the project, so we'll hopefully be making some progress in terms
of triaging old tickets, setting up and updating a new wiki, etc.

In terms of "Extra", the thing to do would be to have all of the
"Extra" features available as an extension or a set of extensions.  If
anyone is interested in helping, hop onto our mailing list.  In
general, I've been hoping to make it into more of a community project,
since I no longer have the time to maintain it on my own.  Again, the
list is at
