Tinkerer

Python blogging engine and static website generator built on Sphinx, with posts written in reStructuredText.

Tinkerer is a Python blogging engine built on Sphinx. Posts and pages are reStructuredText files in a blog directory. The tool builds them into a static website, as the deployment page states. It is installed with pip install tinkerer.

Worth knowing

The README says Tinkerer is retired in favor of Baku, which it names as its replacement, and the repository is archived on GitHub. The record is marked discontinued.
