Dowww
(version 0.9.23, jul 2007)
Dowww is a small tool for helping to the generation of a small to medium sized static web site, using plain text files. This program is just a test of concept, and is not aiming at a production quality level. Most people should use other and better systems to maintain their web sites.
Prerequisites
  • Python language http://www.python.org Dowww requires at least python 2.3.
  • Cheetah, a Python-powered template engine (http://www.CheetahTemplate.org) Cheetah 0.9.16 or upper is recommended but 0.9.15 should work also.
  • Dowww is developped and tested under Linux, but should work on any system where Python and Cheetah can run.
Installation
To install Dowww for system-wide use:
  • on Linux or Posix system, become 'root' user and run:
    python ./setup.py install
  • Dowww can also be used directly by launching ./dowww.py from the Dowww directory
Nota: you need also to install the Cheetah package.
Documentation
Some html documentation should be found in the doc folder.
Note that this soft is absolutely useless without Cheetah, so you should also read the Cheetah user guide.
Example
The example folder contains all files to rebuild the documentation, using dowww itself.
