pycss

A Python based CSS generator with variables and auto browser-prefixing. It creates a valid CSS file for every pycss file it processes. It can be run on an individual pycss file or a directory where it will process all files with the pycss extension. It can be set to either run once, or to watch the input for changes and automatically update.

Syntax

pycss follows the same basic syntax as CSS. Variables are denoted using $. The browser-prefixing occurs automatically on any CSS rule which requires it.

Example pycss input file

$green: '#00ff00'
$width: 50%

#example {
	background-color: $green;
	width: $width;
	transform-origin: 10px 10px;
}

#test {
	color: $green;
	backface-visibility: hidden;
}

Example CSS output file

#example {
	background-color: '#00ff00';
	width: 50%;
	-webkit-transform-origin: 10px 10px;
	   -moz-transform-origin: 10px 10px;
		-ms-transform-origin: 10px 10px;

			transform-origin: 10px 10px;
}
