Build your static site with Python
summary
Shows how to create a complete static site from a few commands and three or four lines of Python tooling, using MKDocs, Pelican, and Nikola to render Markdown/reStructuredText into HTML. Demonstrates live local preview, incremental builds, and deployments to GitHub, Travis CI, FTP, S3, Rackspace or Dropbox. Notes Pelican can import WordPress sites (tens of thousands of pages), MKDocs targets docs with search, and the workflow produces working HTML ready to upload.
