Using sass with Flask and jinja2

Question

I would like to include a sass compiler in my Flask application. Is there a generally accepted way of doing this?

Answer 1

Currently, exist a better approach for this issue, the extion Flask-Scss.

You just have to install it: pip install Flask-Scss

And instanciate a Scss object after configuring the application (probably in your manage.py file):

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.scss import Scss

app = Flask(__name__)
Scss(app)

By default, the extension will look for your .scss files in {app.root_dir}/assets/scss or {app.root_dir}/assets and will put the generate .css files in {default_static_dir}/css or {default_static_dir}.
