Project description

A refreshingly simple static site generator, for those who like to work in HTML.

Of course, @pydanny (https://twitter.com/pydanny) came up with the name for this.

Documentation

The full documentation is at http://complexity.rtfd.org.

Quickstart

Using Complexity is easy! Try it out:

$ pip install complexity
$ git clone git@github.com:audreyr/complexity-example.git my_project
$ cd my_project
$ complexity

Open a web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9090 to see your newly generated Complexity static site.

Features

  • Takes simple HTML templates as input.

  • Template inheritance, filters, etc. (Brought to you by Jinja2.)

  • Data from .json files turns into template context data.

Best Used With

Complexity is designed to be used with these packages:

  • Simplicity: Converts ReStructuredText into JSON, which Complexity can use as input.

  • A Lot of Effort: Deploys a static website (e.g. the output of Complexity) to Amazon S3.

  • Cookiecutter: Creates projects from project templates.

Sure, they could have all been built into Complexity, but decoupling them seemed like a nice thing to do.

Dependencies

  • Jinja2
