What is Pyhead?
Pyhead is a Python package that helps you generate the <head>
tag for your HTML pages.
Flask example:

<body>
<h1>Flask App</h1>
<p>Right-Click view source</p>
</body>
</html>
Advanced use cases:
Flask + g
You can use the g
object in Flask to store the head object.
from flask import Flask, render_template, g
from pyhead import Head
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.before_request
def inject_pyhead():
g.head = Head()
g.head.set_title("My Cool Site")
@app.route("/")
def index():
render_template("index.html")
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
{{ g.head.append_title("Home Page", " - ", _from_template=True) }}
{{ g.head() }}
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
Results in:
...
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="'width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0'">
<title>My Cool Site - Home Page</title>
</head>
...
Working with extended templates
The head object can be modified in templates that extend other templates. Here's an example:
extends.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
{%- block head -%}
{{ g.head() }}
{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
index.hml
{% extends "extends.html" %}
{% block head %}
{{ g.head.append_title('Flask App', ' - ', _from_template=True) }}
{{ super() }}
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Flask App</h1>
<p>Right-Click view source</p>
{% endblock %}
In this example the <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com">
tag is removed, and the title is appended, resulting in:
...
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="'width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0'">
<base href="https://example.com">
<title>My Cool Site - Flask App</title>
</head>
...
dict as args, and JSON
You can pass a dict to the Head() constructor to set the values of the tags. The keys must match the arguments of the set method.
head = Head(
...,
twitter_card={
"card": "summary",
"site_account": "@example",
"creator_account": "@example",
"title": "Example",
"description": "Example",
"image": "https://example.com/image.png",
"image_alt": "Example",
},
)
This is replacing the set_twitter_card()
method.
With this, you can store the values in a database as JSON objects then pass them to the Head() constructor.
page = model.get_page_by_name("index")
head = Head(
...,
twitter=page.twitter_card,
)
A really efficient way would be to store the entire head object as JSON and pass it to the Head() constructor.
page = model.get_page_by_name("index")
head = Head(**page.head)
the stored JSON data in this case would look something like:
{
"base": "https://example.com",
"title": "Hello World",
"exclude_title_tags": true,
"description": "This is a test",
"keywords": "test, hello, world",
"subject": "Hello World",
"rating": "General",
"robots": "index, follow",
"referrer_policy": {
"policy": "no-referrer",
"fallback": "origin"
},
"google": {
"googlebot": "index, follow",
"no_sitelinks_search_box": true,
"no_translate": true
},
"twitter_card": {
"card": "summary",
"site_account": "@example",
"creator_account": "@example",
"title": "Example",
"description": "Example",
"image": "https://example.com/image.png",
"image_alt": "Example"
},
"favicon": {
"ico_icon_href": "https://example.com/favicon.ico"
}
}
CLI Commands
Generating favicons
You can generate favicons from a source image using the cli command pyhead favicons -s favicon-gen-test.png
This uses the python package favicons
to generate the favicons.
You need to install the favicons
package to use this command.
pip install favicons
All paths in the cli command are relative to the current working directory.
Only the following source formats are supported:
png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg, tiff
-s, --source
This will look for the image file to use
-o, --output
This will be the output directory for the favicons
-hp, --href-prefix
This will prefix the href tag in the output html
The following command:
pyhead favicons -s favicon-gen-test.png -o favicons -hp https://example.com
Will create a folder called favicons
with the following files:
apple-touch-icon-57x57.png
apple-touch-icon-60x60.png
apple-touch-icon-72x72.png
apple-touch-icon-76x76.png
apple-touch-icon-114x114.png
apple-touch-icon-120x120.png
apple-touch-icon-144x144.png
apple-touch-icon-152x152.png
apple-touch-icon-167x167.png
apple-touch-icon-180x180.png
favicon-16x16.png
favicon-32x32.png
favicon-64x64.png
