Octopy (August 2011)

A blog aware static site generator. Did anyone say Octopress in Python?

Requirements

• Jinja2, used for templating
• Markdown, used for markup
• Pygments, used for code highlighting

Getting started

First setup the app by calling:

$ ./octopy.py install

You will be asked a series of questions. One of them is the location of your source directory which is source by default. This is the place where your pages and posts will be created.

Syntax

The syntax pretty much follows that of Octopress.

To create a static page execute the following:

$ ./octopy.py new_page["title"]

To create a blog post execute the following:

$ ./octopy.py new_post["title"]

To publish the result into HTML, execute the following:

$ ./octopy.py publish
