5 Best Static Site Generators in Python
Nikola is a feature-rich static site generator that supports a variety of formats for content creation, including reStructuredText, Markdown, and Jupyter Notebooks. It offers a flexible architecture, allowing you to use different template engines and supports plugins for extending functionality. Nikola is suitable for both simple blogs and complex websites.

Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll
You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola.

I'm building a personal website. Should I bother doing it in Python or just use a template?
I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too.

Ask HN: How to build a light weight personal blog?
I switched to Nikola recently: https://getnikola.com/
Reads every kind of plaintext format, but will also just publish a Jupyter notebook which means you can do drag and drop image and graph inlining which makes everything so much simpler (and thus makes me more likely to keep it up).

Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
Might be this static site generator: https://getnikola.com/
Found it by searching [nikola software].

Emacs markdown export
I know you say you're comfortable with your workflow, but just wanted to throw out that if you're not dependent on Jekyll, and are simply looking for the best way to create a static site/blog from org-mode files, you could consider Nikola as an alternative. It has an excellent org-mode plugin which would likely solve your complication.

I also know that there is also Python-based Lektor [2], however I found Nikola more intriguing than this one.

Revisiting Textpattern
>What's with the insistence of running it off of just MySQL?
I think the most honest answer here is that it's planned but not scheduled. There's an open issue to update Textpattern to PDO:
https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/issues/345
…which will open up a whole new world of possibilities.
The Textpattern dev team & user base is pretty small, and the user base is largely patient, so Textpattern can sometimes fall into a trap of being 'good enough for now' and go for extended periods of time with few commits. What tends to happen is a release is scheduled, takes place, and then the plans for the next release are more forefront in our minds. The most recent release was nearly two years ago, which is a long time in Textpattern terms, but I'm confident we can get Textpattern 4.9 into the release pipeline this winter. More on that here:

Ask HN: For static HTML, what is your go to template?
Depends on the need...I have a quick LibreOffice HTML template in light or dark. I include metas for mobile use in the document properties. I also have a PHP controller that can easily modify these if I need it to be more dynamic.
Otherwise I use https://picocss.com/ for some things.
For publishing I either drop the HTML file in a folder with or without a controller, or start a new endpoint by creating a new section in TXP [1] and drop in whatever HTML and txp xml tags I need there.

Textile Markup Language
Textile was the driving markup behind Textpattern (https://textpattern.com/), one of the better publishing/CMS tools out there on PHP. It had a nice object oriented approach that was less painful than Wordpress, and gave great flexibility to design aspects in ways that were easier to work with than Wordpress... but Wordpress won the popular marketshare, and TP was relegated to some diehards. Those diehards still pump out fixes and features, and it's worth a look at https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/ if you want to see something a bit different.

Textpattern CMS
>It bills itself as a "Content Management System", which I've always thought was an amorphous term. I suppose you could use it for a blog, wiki, or something similar.
Textpattern person here. It's readily usable as a blog, corporate site, etc. A wiki would be less straightforward, especially if you have multiple users doing stuff, since we don't have any revision history built into the core software.
Textpattern 4.0.0 (the first production version) was released in 2005, and we're currently working on Textpattern 4.8.8 for release in Q4 this year after PHP 8.1 lands at the end of November.
The 4.9 release series is also being worked on, we'll probably see the first cut from that branch in 2022.

WordPress is 18
Wordpress made a great impact on the net, and I was happy when clients liked its ease of use and relieved from the burden of making content changes. (Though, I've always felt that https://textpattern.com/ was more secure and better than Wordpress).
