Django with compass

[Andrés gutiérrez]

Today what is the best way to work with compass in a Django project. I have find those app [1] , [2] and [3]
But i would like to know if is other ways to work with compass without additional software?

Someone has made a step to step tutorial? i have read this [4] but don't explain how/where comfigure Django to work with Compass

Eric Meyer use Django with Compass + Susy in susy's website. I would like to use this tools too. But i don't find any resource to do it without add-ons [1], [2] or [3]

I'm reading documentation of compass and making some trials.

if i run this:
compass -r susy -f susy <my_project>
I get a deprecated WARNIG:
WARNING: This interface is deprecated. Please use the new subcommand interface.
See `compass help` for more information.

wel, reading docs i understant that with compass 10.5 i have to make this:
compass create <my_project> --using FRAMEWORK

if i list the available frameworks i get this:
Available Frameworks & Patterns:

  * blueprint
    - blueprint/basic      - A basic blueprint install that mimics the actual blueprint css.
    - blueprint/buttons    - Button Plugin
    - blueprint/link_icons - Icons for common types of links
    - blueprint/project    - The blueprint framework.
    - blueprint/semantic   - The blueprint framework for use with semantic markup.
  * compass
    - compass/ellipsis     - Plugin for cross-browser ellipsis truncated text.
    - compass/extension    - Generate a compass extension.
    - compass/project      - The default project layout.


My question is: Susy is a FRAMEWORK? How can i create a compass project inside a Django project and use Susy?

[Andrés gutiérrez]

Sorry for the question. That is the way i have found:

compass create sass --using susy -r susy -x sass

Andres,

We are using Compass with Django, but without any specific integration
between the two. We compile the sass code locally, and check both the
sass and css into our version control. This is not the way Chris
recommends, but it works best for our needs. I'm not sure how all the
Ruby integrations work, so I can't say exactly how are method compares
to that. If you have more questions on the Django end, I can put you
in touch with Carl, who handles all our back-end code.

Cheers,
Eric

No, that did the work for me:

compass create sass --using susy -r susy -x sass 

Now i have a dir with compass config inside Django proyect.

But i don't know how to change image and js folders:

that is my scenario:

project_root
   |--site_media
     |--img
     |--css
     |--js
     |--sass
        |--sass_files

        |--compiled_css
        |--images
        |--config.rb

Inside my config.rb i try to change my 

image_dir = ../img

But that don't work.

Many thanks for your help and for Susy

Hi,
For my Django projects I put my sass directory in the root of the project and the config.rb in the root of the project. To me it is "source" that I don't want in my site_media. Then my config.rb has paths that are at the same level or below it in the directory hierarchy.

Best Regards,

If you use django-orienteer (checkout [2] above) you could do this and
you wouldn't need to run compass watch while you develop. This is more
or less the reason I made it.

FWIW, at Gowalla we use Sass but run a script locally that uses
FSEvents to watch for changes and compiles if necessary. In Git we
ignore the generated CSS and track the Sass. Also, when we deploy a
script generates CSS from the source on the server.

Sound good. But for the moment i'll made the basic with compass wacth and the css generated only on development.

Have a look at http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/blog/django/2010/08/Using-Sass-with-django-mediagenerator

This does the .sass to .css for you automatically and integrates
nicely into Django
