hcss is markup for css. Runs on Python 2.2+.

http://github.com/galvez/hcss

This is similar (in nature) to Sass/LessCSS/CleverCSS, with the
exception that it simply attempts to employ a few simple conventions
to use an actual HTML structure to describe selectors (and nested
selectors) in CSS. Also implements a new construct for class
inheritance.

Input:

.big-font {
  font-size: 20px;
}
<div id="parent">
  !big-font;
  margin: 10px;
  <div class="child">
    margin: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
  </div>
</div>

Output:

div#parent {
  font-size: 20px;
  margin: 10px;
}
div#parent > div.child {
  margin: 5px;
  border: 1px solid #000;
}

I made a pull request on Werkzeug asking for a "reload_parameter" in
werkzeug.serving.run_simple(), that would allow us to integrate
automatic hcss recompilation (and potentially other auxiliary
compilers too) with the reloader. Please give it a +1 if you think
this is a good idea:
