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.

.. _Sass: https://sass-lang.com/

.. _LibSass: https://github.com/sass/libsass

Features

--------

- 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 using

  ``setup.py build_sass`` command.

- Works also on PyPy.

- Provides prebuilt wheel_ binaries for Linux, Windows, and Mac.

Install

-------

It's available on PyPI_, so you can install it using ``pip`` (or

``easy_install``):

.. code-block:: console

   $ 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.

.. _PyPI: https://pypi.org/pypi/libsass/

.. _README: https://github.com/sass/libsass#readme

.. _example:

Example

-------

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> import sass

   >>> print sass.compile(string='a { b { color: blue; } }')

   a b {

     color: blue; }

Docs

----

There's the user guide manual and the full API reference for ``libsass``:

https://sass.github.io/libsass-python/

You can build the docs by yourself:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd docs/

   $ make html

The built docs will go to ``docs/_build/html/`` directory.
