interesting project, i made something similar with node this summer break: https://github.com/geekodour/gitpushblog

I can appreciate not wanting to stray outside the python standard library, but this would be more appealing with a proper template engine.

I think long term you're right but at the moment str.replace() solves the problems I've encountered. That's the way I tend to develop things. Do the simple stuff simply and then expand out from there if needed. Same reason config and article headers are just plain text lines and not something else like JSON.

Ok, a static site generator. Nothing against that one, I think every programmer will write its static site generator some day. I know I did myself.

But since there are thousands of them out there, why would I want to use this? It doesn't have any differentiating feature.
