static.py (a static site generator written in python) Now live on github pages

• look at the comments. This is a static site using twitter for comments. This is sooo coool. No Third parties like disqus .. just Twitter and still a static html site.
• simplified the dir structure so you can just upload to name.github.io repo.

workflow: to generate your static blog or site

• generate the blog

  python generate_blog.py
  

• copy the site dir contents (see above) to you r name.github.io repo

• add, commit and push the changes

  git add --all
  git commit -a -m "your summary of the changes"
  git push origin master
  

• and you are live. See here

todo

• automate the git commit and push process to the name.github.io repo
• make a generate_site script to start with an (almost) empty site

static.py is (yet another) static blog/page/singlepage generator for python

But it has quite a few nice features to be up and running out of the box:

if you want to make a blog or single page => you're done!

• supports blogs, pages, posts and single pages
• tagging on board
• pre rendered tag views on board (click on a tag and you see all posts with that tag)
• tag cloud on board (see snapshots below)
• simple pagination (newer, older) on board
• syntax highlighting with highlight.js on board
• charts.js on board and usable in the posts / pages directly
• d3.js demo with loading data from csv file on board.
• everthing in posts and pages is markdown
• you can add your own javascript or css in every post or template
• pre_rederers: call any of your own python functions before rendering
• based on bootstrap4
• very sophisticated template engine based on tornado {{val}}
• image gallery on board

the goal is to make you just run in a second if you wish to make

• a blog
• a single page or landing page
• specific pages for a topic including charts, articles.

workflow

1. write a markdown text.

2. generate the blog
   python generate_blog.py

3. run test_server (if happy copy to your server, webhoster or github done

looks like this with the default theme (bs4_blog)
