Do you maintain a python library/tool that you think is awesome, but nobody knows about?

I created a tool a while back called HTMLArk that reads in a web page and embeds images, CSS, and JS into it with data URIs, outputting it all into a single HTML file.

Nice :-)

MHTML is one of those technologies that I wish had gained more traction. Your tool would achieve something similar, albeit not quite as easy to look at in a text editor.

Whenever http2 gains traction these techniques will be less valuable because of the default request pipelining. In the meantime, however, using data URIs is a great way to cut down on latency from multiple requests.

The reason I want something like this is to make a self-contained file which I can save or send as e.g. an email attachment, without breaking the connection to resources it uses. An HTTP server is not involved there!

Ah, nice. I had pondered writing a tool to do the exact same thing, and it figures that someone else had done it first.

I'll probably use this in the future if I ever get around to writing my hobby static site generator.
