A lot of you are probably familiar with Flask and its awesome Jinja2 templating system.
There's a well supported, officially approved extension called Frozen-Flask that generates static sites from a Flask/Jinja2 deployment: http://packages.python.org/Frozen-Flask/
If you are familiar with building sites with Flask, I can obviously see the appeal, but for someone unfamiliar with Flask, is there any advantage to going the Frozen-Flask route over simply using a static site generator and content stored as flat markdown? One of the selling points of static sites for me was not having to include a database layer for something as simple as a personal blog with a few dozen entries that I wish to serve.
I have a static site, which is published in two languages, currently with over 5000 pages and about 50 page updates and new pages added per day. None of the static blog frameworks were flexible enough even though my requirements are pretty minimal. I ended up using https://github.com/mtigas/django-medusa/ with a custom app, https://github.com/StuartMacKay/django-sitepaths to manage all the pages and allow pages to be easily regenerated. This works well, with little tinkering to keep it working however I'd certainly take a closer look at Frozen-Flask for my next project.
