Other than the fact that they are both markdown implementations and
both are written in python - none. Python Markdown has been around a
lot longer and has an extensive extension api. Markdown2 is intended
to be a direct port markdown.pl and is relatively young. To my
knowledge they do not share any code and are maintained by different
individuals.

This list was (I believe) originally intended for discussion of the
perl implementation (the first - created by John Gruber) and has
expanded to be a general discussion forum for any and all
implementations.

If you would like to discuss specifics or code regarding the
Python-Markdown implementation, we have our own list here:
