Kaktos

Python static site generator that builds websites from Jinja2 templates, with a frontend built by Vite.

Kaktos is a Python static site generator. Pages are Jinja2 templates, and a build writes the finished site to a build folder. The frontend is built with Vite, which the Python build invokes, so Node.js must be on the machine that runs the build. A development command rebuilds on each save with LiveReload, and a serve command starts a web server for the build folder. The generated site is static files and needs no server.

Worth knowing
