Hi,

Today, I've show this static web site generating tools write in ruby :

* http://webgen.rubyforge.org/index.html
* http://nanoc.stoneship.org/about/
* http://webby.rubyforge.org/tutorial/

I like this tools, I'm wonder if there are similar tools in Python ?

I know Sphinx, but this tools is oriented documentation.

Thanks for your information,
Stephane

There are also jekyll and cyrax:
http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cyrax/0.1.5

I haven't tried any of them, but it looks like cyrax is in active
development and its design was inspired in both jekyll and hyde.

Best regards,
Javier

Here's a still incomplete but not so short list of web frameworks in Python:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks

You might be interested in the templating frameworks if all you want is
generate static pages.

The HTMLTemplate module is useful for static web page generation.
It doesn't do much. It's not a "content management system".
If you just need to generate a page with some data items filled in, it's fine.
If you need more than that, there are bigger packages, but they have more
baggage.
