We have been very happy with Flask [1] based backends with Frozen-Flask [2]. A
static side generator based on a dynamic web framewrok.

There is Elsa [3], our litter opinionated helper around those (probably not
usable in Fedora, as it assumes GitHub pages, but linked it anyway for reference).

We use it in Fedora for fedoralovespython.org [4] and portingdb.xyz [5].

The Czech Python community uses it for python.cz, pyvec.org, naucse.python.cz,
pyladies.cz and others. The Slovak Python community freezes Flask for pycon.sk
AFAIK.

The good thing about such Frozen-Flask approach is that you can change a website
(or part of it) to dynamic or back as needed. If you choose a static only
framework, you are bound to static.

Flask is vivid yet stable, very popular Python web framework.
