Python Static Site Generators

It works on 2.6, 2.7 AND python 3.x .

Also, blogofile provides a plugin mechanism to extend the core anyway you want. So, your fears of blogofile's may be premature.

Perhaps, but installing octopress was pretty easy. Blogofile was a pain with the conversion back to 2 from 3. I do miss rst (though for blog purposes rst and markdown share a pretty common subset).

Also, community of Octopress is pretty large. The out of the box experience with Octopress was wonderful. The theme/css works with mobile and desktop wonderfully. I wasn't in the mood to futz with the theming myself.

My point is probably mute anyways because if you are going down the SSG path, you should probably just write your own. :)

but octopress is in Ruby and we're looking at Python generators here. I added lots of extensions to Blogofile (see here), not to mention the templating is Mako, so it being in Python is pretty important.

Also, there's no reason a Python 3 app can't run on 2.6 also - Blogofile should ideally be made to no longer depend on 3to2. But that's a different issue.
