Python Static Site Generators

While git is great and all, on windows it is huge. I wanted to find other ways of actually posting remotely without using git. It would seem that FTP would be obvious, but so far no luck. I might have to find one with a publishing hook and write a python function to upload via ftp.

Features I Currently Like

- Python rather than Ruby
- Dropbox syncing although ftp would work just as well for me.
- YAML post configuration
- Markdown default with the options of other formats
- Hookable
- Jinja2 templating
- Importing from Wordpress and other blogs

Possible Candidates

• https://github.com/borismus/lightning - uses dropbox for syncing posts

• https://github.com/piranha/cyrax - Based on jekyll. Uses Jinja2. Markdown, reST or textile.

• https://github.com/xfire/growl/ - Based on jekyll. Is extendable and has hooks. Multiple templating or formatting options.

• https://github.com/ametaireau/pelican - Lots of features. Web hooks and DVCSes

• https://github.com/Anomareh/mynt - Worth looking at again

• http://www.blogofile.com/ - Lots of docs. Lots of configuration. I see a post_build hook which may be the oppurtunity for FTP upload or git. Uses Mako. MVC and extendable. YAML post format. Migration from wordpress. Ended development

• https://github.com/bow/volt/ - Based on blogofile

• https://github.com/amirouche/nikola - Lots of features. Suggests multiple deployment methods including dropbx and ftp.

• jekll plus https://github.com/teiko/glynn which will upload via ftp

• http://packages.python.org/Frozen-Flask/ - Freeze Flask

• https://github.com/Iodine/lynki - wiki generator

• http://wok.mythmon.com/

• https://github.com/honza/socrates

• http://posativ.org/acrylamid/ - Parses a lot of markup syntaxes. Extentable

• http://pyblosxom.bluesock.org/ - Blogging software that can do static

• https://github.com/nikcub/floyd

• https://github.com/colinta/StrangeCase - Lots of docs worth reading

• https://github.com/lejonet/Cipherpress - Interesting

• https://github.com/tylerbutler/engineer - Research

• https://github.com/galvez/fab-publish - Maybe use for remote deployment other than git. Brings up the possibility of using fab, waf or doit along with an ftp python class.
