LibSass has reached its end of life. It will no longer receive updates of any kind, nor will its wrapper libraries. Users should migrate to Dart Sass at their earliest convenience. See also https://github.com/attakei/sass-embedded-python.

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.

• 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.

It's available on PyPI, so you can install it using pip (or easy_install):

$ pip install libsass

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

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

You can build the docs by yourself:

$ cd docs/
$ make html

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

Hampton Catlin and Aaron Leung wrote LibSass, which is portable C/C++ implementation of Sass.

Hampton Catlin originally designed Sass language and wrote the first reference implementation of it in Ruby.
