Re: Using Sass with Django makes CSS so much easier to maintain

Not SASS, but in the same vein is http://sandbox.pocoo.org/clevercss/ which
has the benefit of being in python.

Using Sass with Django makes CSS so much easier to maintain

[Jason]

I had been eyeing Sass for a while, hoping to get to use it on a
project. When we chose Django instead of Rails for FeedMagnet, I was
bummed that we wouldn't have access to the Rails Sass gem.

Thankfully I found Compass - it let's us generate all our CSS from
Sass source files and it works really well. Even thought it is built
in Ruby, we don't need to run it on our production server - just on
our development boxes. It updates our CSS automatically every time we
change a Sass file - all we need on the production server is the
generated CSS. Even though it is not an "integrated" solution, as far
as I can tell Compass is the best way to get Sass working with Django
- and it has definitely been worth it to get to use Sass - huge time
saver.

I wrote a blog post to show how we're using Sass to set up our grid
variables that set the width of pretty much every block element in the
site. I thought I'd share how we were doing things in hopes that
others can benefit.
