From the Python docs for os.sep [1]:
Note that knowing this is not sufficient to be able to parse or
concatenate pathnames - use os.path.split() and os.path.join()...
Where I touched a line, I also changed double quoted string literals
to single quotes, since they are used more often in the source:
wking@mjolnir ~/src/pelican $ git grep "'" pelican/*.py | wc -l
683
wking@mjolnir ~/src/pelican $ git grep '"' pelican/*.py | wc -l
181

Allows users to have per-year, per-month, and per-day archives of posts
automatically generated. The feature is disabled by default; to enable
it a user must supply format strings for a period's respective
`_SAVE_AS` setting.
Sometimes the base filename doesn't have everything you need.
Remember that os.sep is platform dependent, so using it in a regular
expression for this setting may not be portable (boo MS Windows!).
Static needs a lot of the same handling as other pages, so make it a
subclass of Page. The rename from StaticContent to Static makes for
cleaner configuration settings (STATIC_URL instead of
STATICCONTENT_URL).
All currently generated Static instances override the save_as
attribute explicitly on initialization, but it isn't hard to imagine
wanting to adjust STATIC file output based on metadata (e.g. extracted
from their source filename). With this union, the framework for
manipulating URLs and filenames is shared between all source file
types.
Making everything consistent is a bit awkward, since this is a
commonly used attribute, but I've done my best.
Reasons for not consolidating on `filename`:
* It is often used for the "basename" (last component in the path).
Using `source_path` makes it clear that this attribute can contain
multiple components.
Reasons for not consolidating on `filepath`:
* It is barely used in the Pelican source, and therefore easy to
change.
* `path` is more Pythonic. The only place `filepath` ever show up in
the documentation for `os`, `os.path`, and `shutil` is in the
`os.path.relpath` documentation [1].
Reasons for not consolidating on `path`:
* The Page elements have both a source (this attribute) and a
destination (.save_as). To avoid confusion for developers not aware
of this, make it painfully obvious that this attribute is for the
source. Explicit is better than implicit ;).
Where I was touching the line, I also updated the string formatting in
StaticGenerator.generate_output to use the forward compatible
'{}'.format() syntax.

This allows users to organize their files in ways where the subfolder name
would not make a good category name (i.e. /2012/09/). Set this to ``False``
and the subfolder will no longer be used as a standard category,
`DEFAULT_CATEGORY` will be used instead.
As @ametaireau suggested: instead of having logic that prepends the
OUTPUT_SOURCES_EXTENSION with a '.' we allow the user more
flexibility to control the extension that can be used.
Using this configurable setting users can control what extension will be
appended to filenames by the SourcesGenerator.
The default is to use the ``.text`` extension.
This caused the defaults to be overwritten and edge case bugs with tests.
The test for empty setting needed to be updated to reflect that the method
for setting up the local settings sets extra settings.
Then we bypass all feed generation of both are set to None or throw a warning if SITEURL is unset.
Updated all documentation, to make sure the usage and warning is clear.
