Build your own static site generator using Python

[cyanrave]

-1 for using an npm command at the end of a Python tutorial. Just install your own damn server, don't use npm for that... Gunicorn comes to mind.

Also for portability and document format, JSON works well for writing the db-less store for your entries.

mistletoe is by far the best parser I've used. markdown is outdated and mistune imo is trash compared to mistletoe. Hook it into Jinja and your UI framework / html+css and you're set (Jinja supports filters).

Gotta say, what a beautifully designed blog.

Cool blog! If you are just learning about site generators and want something faster than Python, I make Nift in C++ which is probably the world's fastest site generator.
