Trackback is a common method of sending a feedback to another trackback enabled website. Its usage can span beyond more than just weblogs, for example, you can set up a guest book on your website, and provide other methods of input other than a simple web form. There are standalone implementations of trackback servers like the MT-provided Standalone Trackback tool or the tbpy which can be modified to your needs.

If you want to send trackbacks and you do not with to create a blog entry in Movable Type (or whatever tool you are using that does trackback pings), you can do so with a couple of trackback forms on the net, for example, the SimpleTracks form. Anyway, back to the actual point of this entry, that there's no magic in trackback at all, and how to send a trackback with python.
