It resolves relative paths and consults Django's STATICFILES_FINDERS, allowing imports across app boundaries, and provides a built-in static() function for generating URLs to static resources within Sass.\n\nThe package avoids external executable dependencies by calling libsass directly through Python bindings, making it faster and simpler to deploy than shell-based Sass compilers. It supports configurable output styles (nested, expanded, compact, compressed), source comments, sourcemaps, and custom functions, with sensible defaults tied to Django's DEBUG setting.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using django-compressor and need Sass compilation without external build dependencies. The low install friction, permissive license, and lack of known vulnerabilities make it safe to adopt. However, the dormant maintenance status (last release 2021-07-08) means you should verify compatibility with your Django and libsass versions before committing, and be prepared to maintain a fork if critical issues arise."},"id":"django-libsass","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-libsass","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-libsass.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-libsass/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-07-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-libsass","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A django-compressor filter to compile SASS files using libsass"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1035917,"position":4461,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9"}
