THIS PROJECT IS UNMAINTAINED. Check out https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lesscpy, a pure-Python less compiler

lesspy

Helps compile collections of LESS files into CSS files

• Given a source directory, recursively finds LESS (.less/.lss/.css) files

• Saves compiled CSS files to a destination path, using the same directory structure as the source, e.g.,

    ./source
    |-- shared
    |   |-- one.less
    |   `-- two.lss
    |-- three.less
    `-- four.css
  

  ...is compiled to...

    ./dest
    |-- shared
    |   |-- one.css
    |   `-- two.css
    |-- three.css
    `-- four.css
  

LESS

lesspy depends on LESS (http://lesscss.org/).

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions.

Usage

# Compile specific .less files to .css
lesspy.Less('/path/to/less/files', '/path/to/compiled').compile([
    'uncompiled.less',
    'uncompiled2.lss',
    'raw.css'
])

# Auto-detect .less files and convert them to .css
lesspy.Less('/path/to/less/files', '/path/to/compiled').compile()

CSS minification is enabled by default, but can be disabled optionally:

lesspy.Less('/from', '/to', compress=False).compile()
