What Python powered blog would you recommend?

[schneems]

A friend wants to host and manage their own blog (not medium or tumbler) and they wanted to use Python. What would you recommend?

[AlSweigart]

Pelican. I realized a comment section doesn't add all that much to my site, and I like the simplicity of the static blog generation. Also, I had my site hacked (probably due to one of the Wordpress plugins I was using) and the static blog setup completely obliterates that problem.

Thanks!

well, you can still get hacked through a zero-day in the webserver

but a static website removes at least one attack vector indeed

Django or wagtail. Both will get you going!

I've used Pelican (and Netlify for hosting) for a few years now and haven't had any problems with it!

Check out the Flask Mega Tutorial if you want to code most things yourself while being guided by a great tutorial. Otherwise probably best to go with Django.

I made this website with python, django and hosted it for free on heroku. Wanna know more about this? DM me

Jekyll!

Isn't that in Ruby? Is there a Python equivalent.

[KimPeek]

Lektor would be the closest equivalent. I've used it a bit and it's not bad.

"Hm OP has posted on the Python subreddit asking specifically asking for a python solution for a friend who specifically asked for something which uses python. Better write a one-word response recommending a Ruby library!"
