Pelican is a simple weblog generator, written in Python.
- Write your weblog entries directly with your editor of choice (vim!) and directly in reStructuredText, or Markdown.
- A simple cli-tool to (re)generate the weblog.
- Easy to interface with DVCSes and web hooks
- Completely static output, so easy to host anywhere !
Pelican currently supports:
- blog articles and pages
- comments, via an external service (disqus). Please notice that while it's useful, it's an external service, and you'll not manage the comments by yourself. It could potentially eat your data.
- theming support (themes are done using jinja2)
- PDF generation of the articles/pages (optional).
- Translations
- Syntactic recognition
Have a look to the documentation for more informations.
