What is django-css?

Django-css is a fork of django_compressor that makes it easy to use CSS compilers with your Django projects. CSS compilers extend CSS syntax to include more powerful features such as variables and nested blocks, and pretty much rock all around. Django-css can currently be used with any CSS compiler that can be called from the command line, such as HSS, Sass, CleverCSS, or LESS.

Thanks to django_compressor, django-css will also version and compress linked and inline javascript or CSS into a single cached static file.

Note: The pypi version of CleverCSS is buggy and will not work with django-css. Use the updated version on github: http://github.com/dziegler/clevercss/tree/master

6/7/09 - Version 2 is here! What's new?

Django-css was previously using django-compress for versioning and compression, and it now uses django_compressor. The main reasons being that with django_compressor, css/js files are included in the template itself, not in settings, and versioning is much cleaner. Version 2 requires much less setup and is easier to use, but is not compatible with version 1.

Special thanks to Christian Metts and Andreas Pelme for all their hard work on django_compressor and django-compress.
