Lektor
Static content management system that builds websites from flat files and a web admin interface, written in Python.
www.getlektor.com/repositorydocsplugins
Lektor is a static content management system written in Python. Site content is kept as flat files in a tree, and an admin interface edits the content. The build turns it into static HTML, rendered with Jinja2 templates, and the output can be deployed to any host.
Worth knowing
The Lektor server runs on the author’s own machine, and the built files are what goes live. The development version of the admin needs npm to build.
