wok
Python static website generator that turns templates, content and media into plain HTML with Jinja2 templates.
wok is a Python static website generator that turns templates, content and resources such as CSS and images into plain HTML. The pages are generated ahead of time rather than on each visit, so no server-side engine runs per request. Templates use Jinja2, and a development server started from the command line serves the output for local link testing.
Worth knowing
The project’s repository is archived on GitHub, and its documentation site no longer completes a TLS connection, so the README is the only readable description. The install instructions name a PyPI package called wok, but that package is a different tool, so the README’s source install is the one that applies.
