This project generates grids showing the stroke order for Chinese characters. Many of the apps I've found for learning stroke order display an animation but I found having a static image more useful.
You can either run a flask server that will display a form where you can input characters and then display the stroke orders on a web page or you can generate the images locally on the command line

Generating PNG Locally
generated with the command python3 pystrokes.py 知道了
Requires cairo to be installed for rendering the svgs to png
This is how I installed on macOS 12.6
conda install cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libffi
Setup
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Start flask server with the command below then point your browser to localhost:5000 or 127.0.0.1:5000
$ python3 app.py
Generating images locally (this will create 3 images in the strokes directory):
