Nope. The whole point of a &quot;static site generator&quot; should be for it to be <i>SIMPLE</i>. If it takes me more than 15 min to understand almost everything about it, I consider the said generator <i>a failure</i>. This is why I never bothered with Jekill or Pelican after trying to get them to do <i>what I wanted</i> and couldn&#x27;t in less than 30min.<p>...and I fall back to my script which does &quot;php + php -S to temporarily serve + wget to generate the actual static site&quot;.<p><i></i>sssgen seems like a breath of fresh air to me and I will actually use it. Thanks OP!!!<i></i><p>Also, thanks again for the sound decision of using Mako so I can actually have python code in my templates instead of wrestling with another &quot;crippled&quot; template language. And for jumping off the maddening &quot;convention over configuration&quot; wagon... I <i>love</i> configuration and explicitness for anything non-obvious
