django-distill

django-distill is a simple to implement static site generator for Django. It is fully compatible with all Django projects and works with existing complex Django applications without interfering. It does not require modifications to existing apps and only small per-URL functions need to be created.

django-distill is designed to integrate with existing Django projects and does not require learning any new framework or file structures to use.

A fully working example of using django-distill with a Django blog is available here https://github.com/meeb/django-distill-example
