Django

I started playing with wagtail recently (a very promising Django
CMS) and they use django_libsass to compile their sass
into css. Unfortunatelly, if you'll try to install django libsass via PIP on
Mac you'll get a compile error message. I tried lots of approaches to fix this
and it didn't work in the end. So the solution was to use Python Wheels (a
precompiled python packages). All you need is:
1) Install wheels via PIP:
pip install wheels
2) Go to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/libsass and find a wheel for Mac OS
10.10
3) Download the wheel we want to install:
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/l/libsass/libsass-0.7.0-cp27-none-macosx_10_10_intel.whl
4) Install libsass wheel:
wheel install libsass-0.7.0-cp27-none-macosx_10_10_intel.whl --force
I added --force parameter, because wheel told me the package is not
compatible with my OS (probably bug, because all works fine in the end)
5) Install django_libsass package via PIP:
pip install django_libsass
And now all should be working just fine!
