Render Engine

Python static site generator built from pages, collections and a site object, rendered with Jinja2 templates.

Render Engine is a static site generator written in Python, built from pages, collections and a site object. The documentation states that it uses the Jinja2 templating engine, and that content is stored in the file system by default, one file per piece of content. The site object takes an output path where rendered content is written.

It is installed from PyPI with pip. The project is open source, the community is invited to contribute, and it has a Discord server linked from its README.
