Liara
A fast, easy to use static page generator
What is Liara?
Liara is a static page generator written in Python. It creates web sites which can be deployed to any web server and require no server-side logic. Liara is ideally suited for blogs or personal pages, especially if you need good syntax highlighting. For examples of Liara in action, check out Anteru.net and Shelter13.net.
Simple to use
Liara relies on simple text configuration files to set up your page. There's no need to write any code. Templates can be written using the Jinja2 or Mako template languages.
During development, you can use Liara's built-in server to quickly iterate on the content and styles. Deployment is as simple as calling rsync.
Fast
Processing a real-world sized page with 400 documents and 100 linked files takes less than 10 seconds with a cold cache. Liara symlinks files where possible so building pages with large binaries or images is very fast.
