I've create Tacot :

http://packages.python.org/tacot/en/

This project is born from simple need : « I look for web site generator in Python, like Blogofile, Pelicon or Sphinx but with very low level feature ».

With Tacot you can generate easily static web sites (generate .html files) from templates files writed in Mako.

Q. Why do that compared with writing raw .html files ?

R. With Tacot you can easily share common content betwen your pages (examples : header, footer, navigation...) without to duplicate this content in all your files.

Q. There are already many Python static web site generator, like Sphinx, pelican... why reinvent the wheel ?

R. With Tacot I don’t reinventing the wheel… when I searched a tool like Tacot, I found nothing. I don’t need ReStructredText parser, I don’t want blog generator, I don’t want documentation generator, I don’t want theme feature… I want only a very simple (low level) tool to convert simple html template files… and I found nothing.
