It lets you compile Stylus stylesheets\u2014a more concise CSS syntax with features like mixins and variables\u2014by calling out to the Node.js-based Stylus compiler from your Python code. The package provides a simple Stylus class that accepts stylesheet strings and compiles them to CSS, and supports loading Stylus plugins like Nib.\n\nThe package has not been maintained since 2016 and is classified as Alpha. It carries high install friction because it requires both Node.js and the Stylus npm package to be installed and discoverable in your runtime environment before the Python package can function. Given its age and abandonment status, it is unlikely to work reliably with modern Python or Node.js versions without significant troubleshooting.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last updated 2016), marked Alpha, and requires external Node.js and npm dependencies that add significant friction. Modern CSS preprocessing is better served by contemporary tools like PostCSS, Sass, or Tailwind, which have active maintenance and better Python integration. Only consider it if you are maintaining a legacy codebase that already depends on it."},"id":"stylus","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stylus","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stylus.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/stylus/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-02-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"stylus","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A bridge to the Stylus css compiler"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":81941,"position":14191,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.2"}
