instantgallery.py takes a directory containing photos and turns it into a shiny photo gallery made for the web. ALl you have to do is to enter a single command line. To publish the gallery, just upload the output directory to any webserver. It's plain HTML, CSS and Javascript and it thus works regardless of your webserver.
instantgallery.py can handle and display EXIF information and is able to try rotating portrait format photos automatically (by using their EXIF rotate information combined with their aspect ratio).
By default the photos are ordered by their timestamp but you can specify a flag to have them sorted alphabetically. In the first case the script tries to read their EXIF "OriginalDate" field first and uses Unix' mtime() if this failes.
For an example of a gallery created with this software see below.
instantgallery.py supports EXIF information including GPS (shown using OpenStreetMap), subdirectories, intro texts and generating a ZIP archive of the pictures for download.
instantgallery.py is able to generate galleries in other languages than English, but currently only German is supported. If you add another language I would be glad to get an email or just fork the project on GitHub and send me a pull request.
Please create an issue at GitHub. If you don't have and don't want to have a GitHub account, send me an email.

INPUT OUTPUT
Builds a beautiful web gallery. Now.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version, -v show program's version number and exit

Specify maximal resolution for pictures shown online
(default: 1920x1080)
Additional settings:
--zip, -z Create a zip file with all the images and make it
available for download.
--sub N, -S N Subdirectory entering depth (0 for staying in the
original directory).
--filenames, -f Display filenames in image details.
--intro, -i Use text file INTRO in the picture directories to
display on the index page.
--no-promoting Do not include a link to instantgallery.py's website
in the footer of the gallery's overview.
--zipnames SCHEMA Gallery name for the filenames in the zip file
Runtime options:
