Migrate from Jekyll (Ruby) to Pycora (Python) — No More Dependency Hell

Migrate from Jekyll (Ruby) to Pycora (Python) — No More Dependency Hell

Jekyll needs Ruby. Ruby needs gems. Gems conflict. Sound familiar?

The Problem with Jekyll

  • Ruby version management (rbenv, rvm, asdf)
  • Gem dependencies break on update
  • Bundler conflicts
  • Slow builds on large sites

The Pycora Solution

Pycora is pure Python. If you have Python 3.8+, you have everything you need.

  • No Ruby
  • No Node
  • No gem conflicts
  • No bundler
  • Just python ssg.py

Migration Steps

1. Install Pycora

pip install jinja2 markdown pyyaml watchdog

2. Convert Frontmatter

Jekyll:

---
layout: post
title: "My Post"
date: 2024-01-20
---

Pycora:

---
layout: layouts/post
title: "My Post"
date: 2024-01-20
tags: [python, ssg]
---

3. Convert Templates

Jekyll uses Liquid:

4. Build

python ssg.py
