What is python-django-pyscss

python-django-pyscss is:

Django-pyscss is a collection of tools for making it easier to use pyScss within Django. It overwrites the import system to use Django’s staticfiles app. This way you can import SCSS files from any app (or any file that’s findable by the STATICFILES_FINDERS) with no hassle. It provides a django-compressor precompile filter class so that you can easily use pyScss with django-compressor without having to bust out to the shell. This has the added benefit of removing the need to configure pyScss through its command-line arguments AND makes it possible for the exceptions and warnings that pyScss emits to bubble up to your process so that you can actually know what’s going on.
