Overview

SSG is a static site generator that leverages the excellent Jinja templating engine, the expressiveness of the TOML file format and the batteries included power of Python's standard library to create a static website from a simple file hierarchy of source material.

Its modus operandi is loosely based on that of Zola, which, itself, works a lot like one of the most commonly used static site generators, Hugo. SSG is a great deal simpler than either of them, though. In particular, much less stuff gets done implicitly. Whether this is a desirable trait is very much dependent on your use case.
