Hi,
I'm sure there are a bunch of them, but googling just returned
full-fledged CMS that require a DBMS and generate dynamic pages.
I'd just like a script that would
1. look in a directory for articles in raw HTML,
2. generate a cooked output for each page (ie. add header and footer,
CSS link in HEAD, etc.),
3. regenerate the homepage with "Last modified" bit following each
article's title,
4. ready to be uploaded by FTP to a web server that only handles
static web pages.
Considering Python's wealth of libraries, it's most likely only a
couple hours' work, but since I'm pretty much a Python newbie...
Thank you

I recommend ht2html; this is used to generate python.org.

Martin

Thank you Fred.
My Pdx package can do this:
manual: http://www.seanet.com/~hgg9140/comp/...oc/manual.html
download: http://www.seanet.com/~hgg9140/comp/
You do a template, then do "=include_for html" for the basic datafile
you want to wrap. Or write directly in Pdx (less verbose than raw
html).

If I may humbly plug my own project, you might try HRL: http://www.aerojockey.com/software/hrl
In fact, the example on the home page pretty much does exactly what
you ask. It's very versatile for generating static pages, I'd say.
Maybe too versatile. If you'd like to be able to use the power of
Python to automate various tasks that come along, this might be what
you want. If you just want 1, 2, 3, and 4 for all eternity, you might
prefer something less deep.
Also, it supports Unicode, if you need that.

This should be close to what you want:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/DocGen.zip>. (See
<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/htmltemplate.html>.)
To add 'last modified' dates, replace the second-last line of
write_docs.py with:
import time
index = '<ol>\n%s</ol>' % ''.join(['\t<li><a href="%s">%s</a>
%s</li>\n' % (href, name, time.strftime('(last modified: %I:%M:%S %p
on %Y-%m-%d)', time.localtime(os.stat(src + href).st_mtime))) for
name, href in chapterNames])

yaptu is python templating code (79 lines long!). I use it to
(statically) generate the entire matplotlib web site - http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net. This includes parsing pydoc output
to embed it into the web site navigation tables, adding headers /
footers, etc. I think it's great - it's really easy to mix python &
html
see http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo...n/Recipe/52305. If
you want more extensive examples, look in the *.html.template files of
the htdocs subdirectory of a matplotlib cvs checkout.

You could try XIST ( http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist/).
The source for this page can be found here: http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist/index.htmlxsc
XIST supports Unicode, XHTML, SVG, XSL-FO, WML etc.

Thx a bunch everyone. I'll check all those out.
Fred.
I like PubTal because it produces static pages from Zope Page
Templates (ZPT), which I like as an approach:
<http://www.owlfish.com/software/PubTal/>
Recent versions have intelligent FTP upload too.
ZPT has a learning curve, but is quite nice (and scalable upwards to a
fully dynamic solution in future if you need that).
