I spent this evening executing an idea that I had a few weeks ago, after looking at Sass and LessCSS. The idea is this:
Don’t write CSS. Write Python, and then output it as CSS.
The advantages are that you can do-away with all the annoyingness of CSS, and gain all the fun of Python. Variables? Check! Functions? Check! Lots of fun syntax and code/style reuse? Check!
I committed it to github, so you can go check it out there. It’s called pyssed. Take a look at the README, as well as the source code in examples. I’d love to hear your feedback.
