comatic

comatic is a python based Static webcomic generator. It is based on the xkcd style of comic management for now.

Dependencies

  • Jinja2
  • Python 2.x

It will power hopefully my webcomic that used to run on comicpress one day. :')

This is a weekend hack. I took special care to throw away every good coding practice. If anyone else is interested in using it, I'll clean it up!

Using comatic

  • Set up your configuration as settings.py
  • The list of comics is picked up from a CSV. This must be the worst method you've heard of, but I considered ReStructuredText/Markdown but this seemed the best way to go forward to me.
  • Note that comatic only supports xkcd style URLs in series. For instance. your-comic-site.com/1 your-comic-site.com/2 your-comic-site.com/3 and so on.
  • The CSV must look like this: number,timestamp,title,author,image path,alternate text,description

Finished Stuff

  • the comic strip part
