I wrote a static site generator. It was the first "real" Python app I wrote (many files, classes, etc and actively using Python features.) The code is _terrible_ in the way that code can be when you're learning a language. You can definitely see the progress of understanding Python as you see the project develop. However, it's robust and is used to generate my site right now. It supports Markdown plus a custom template language to convert Markdown-plus-more documents into a website, which allows me to add footnotes, sidenotes, images with specific formatting, custom markers, etc. It has specific support for parsing English and splitting sentences, so each one is in their own span in the resulting HTML. This is used for specific typographic layout.
