libsass-python: Sass/SCSS for Python
This package provides a simple Python extension module sass
which is
binding LibSass (written in C/C by Hampton Catlin and Aaron Leung).
It's very straightforward and there isn't any headache related to Python
distribution/deployment. That means you can add just libsass
into
your setup.py
's install_requires
list or requirements.txt
file.
No need for Ruby nor Node.js.
- You don't need any Ruby/Node.js stack at all, for development or deployment either.
- Fast. (LibSass is written in C .)
- Simple API. See the below example code for details.
- Custom functions.
@import
callbacks.- Support both tabbed (Sass) and braces (SCSS) syntax.
- WSGI middleware for ease of development. It automatically compiles Sass/SCSS files for each request.
setuptools
/distutils
integration. You can build all Sass/SCSS files usingsetup.py build_sass
command.- Works also on PyPy.
- Provides prebuilt wheel binaries for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
It's available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip
(or
easy_install
):
$ pip install libsass
Note
libsass requires some features introduced by the recent C standard. You need a C compiler that support those features. See also libsass project's README file.
>>> import sass
>>> print sass.compile(string='a { b { color: blue; } }')
a b {
color: blue; }
There's the user guide manual and the full API reference for libsass

You can build the docs by yourself:
$ cd docs/
$ make html
The built docs will go to docs/_build/html/
directory.
