SassPython - bindings for libsass

why?

• the guy on this talk asqued for it: http://www.confreaks.com/videos/859-railsconf2012-the-future-of-sass
• I wanted to play with ctypes

how?

first of all download, compile and install libsass::

    git clone https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass.git
    cd libsass
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

then you can play with this project in two ways

command line ............

if no options provided read from stdin::

    ➜  src  ./sass.py                           
    table.hl td.ln {
      text-align: right;
    }

    table.hl td.ln {
      text-align: right; }

from a file::

    ➜  src  ./sass.py -f ../examples/simple.scss

    .content-navigation {
      border-color: #3bbfce;
      color: darken(#3bbfce, 9%); }

    .border {
      padding: 8px;
      margin: 8px;
      border-color: #3bbfce; }

from a folder:

::

    # I think it doesn't work, never used sass before and don't know what
    # this means :)
    ➜  src  ./sass.py -d ../examples/

you can't chew gum and walk at the same time::

    ➜  src  ./sass.py -f ../examples/simple.scss -d ~
    usage: sass.py [-h] [-f FILE_PATH | -d DIR_PATH]
    sass.py: error: argument -d/--dir: not allowed with argument -f/--file

code ....

from a string::

    Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:44:07) 

    >>> import sass
    >>> STYLE = """
    ... table.hl td.ln {
    ...   text-align: right;
    ... }
    ... """

    >>> ok, style = sass.compile(STYLE)

    >>> ok
    True

    >>> print style
    table.hl td.ln {
      text-align: right; }

from a file::

    >>> ok, style = sass.compile_path("../examples/simple.scss")

    >>> ok
    True

    >>> print style
    .content-navigation {
      border-color: #3bbfce;
      color: darken(#3bbfce, 9%); }

    .border {
      padding: 8px;
      margin: 8px;
      border-color: #3bbfce; }

from a folder::

    >>> ok, style = sass.compile_folder("../examples/")
    
    # ???
    # Profit!

how to install?

from sources ............

python 2::

    sudo python2 setup.py install

python 3::

    sudo python3 setup.py install

using pip .........

::

    sudo pip install SassPython

license?

MIT + optional beer for the creator

what's left to do?

• make the folder stuff work
• add command line options to specify option styles
• see what the return value of the compile_* means and use it if needed
