This is a very simple static website generator I originally built for the Firefox 3.6 start page.
Based on nocturnal, it takes a single jinja2 template, throws in some translations from .lang files, and generates a bunch of static, localized output files.
Big thanks to Matt MacPherson and James Long for doing much of the heavy lifting, I basically just glued this together. Open Source is a wonderful thing.
Specify an output directory (it shouldn't be the same directory as the repo) and allow a few seconds for the script to scrape Mozilla's FTP server.
./generate.py --output-dir html
To delete the output dir before generating the output (careful!), use the --force option.
./generate.py --output-dir html -f
