Answer 1

Here is a solution using sass. First, install the python bindings:

pip install sass

Then, use it:

import sys
import sass
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create your sass style sheet (you can also write this in a file and load the file)
style = '''
$bg-dark: #292929;

QPushButton {
color: red;
background-color: $bg-dark;
}
'''.encode('utf-8')

# Compile Sass to CSS
style = sass.compile_string(style).decode()

# And set it to your app
app.setStyleSheet(style)
