pynfact 1.0.2.dev4

Blog-oriented static web generator using Jinja2 templates.

PynFact

• Description: A blog-oriented static website generator.
• Current version: 1.0.2.dev4 (2020-03-12)

Pynfact is a simple static website generator oriented to chronological content, like blogs or websites with historic and sequential data. It allows integration with external scripts, comment engines such as Disqus, TalkYard, etc., or Google Analytics... Theming and configuration is possible by editing Jinja2 templates.

The interaction is done by command line. Only a few commands are needed:

• pynfact init <myblog>: Create a folder with all needed content
• Configure settings in config.yml, title, name, language...
• pynfact build: Generates the static content
• pynfact serve: Serves locally to test the results (by default at localhost:4000)

Features

• Input format: Markdown
• Output format: HTML 5
• Configuration: Jinja2 templates
• Locale support (gettext)
• Code syntax highlighting (Pygments)
• Atom/RSS feed generation

Requirements

• Python 3
• Markdown: Python implementation of Markdown
• Unidecode: ASCII transliterations of Unicode text
• feedgen: Feed Generator (Atom, RSS, Podcasts)
• Jinja2: A small but fast and easy to use stand-alone template engine written in pure Python

Recent changes

• Deployed as Python package
• Added Esperanto locale (eo)
• Builder class constructor simplified, now takes a configuration dictionary, sorted semantically
• Using feedgen instead of pyatom to generate RSS/Atom syndication feeds

Why this name?

Granted it will be used on the "web", the word "log" in Latin may be translated as INdicem FACTorum, hence InFact or -nFact to be more easily pronounceable when prepending the prefix py-, an indicator of the programming language where it has been developed.

Also, pyblog, pyblic, pyweblog and many other cool names were already taken.

Bugs

Lots! This project is still in development, so there are probably a lot of bugs that need to be fixed before is deployed as a package.
