Python package of YUI Compressor with code minification and optimization capabilities.
YUI Compressor is a Java-based CSS and JavaScript minifier that efficiently compresses files. To simplify its use within Python projects, this package includes the YUI Compressor JAR file. However, it's important to note that Java Runtime Environment must still be installed for proper functioning.
One way to use this package is with buildout. After creating the buildout.cfg file and adding the yuicompressor part, download the buildout bootstrap script and run the buildout itself. This will generate the yuicompressor script and allow for its installation.
The yuicompressor script provides ample options for customizing the minification process. Users can specify the input file type, encoding, and output location. JavaScript options such as 'nomunge' and 'preserve-semi' can be toggled for greater control.
Integrating this package with other compressor-reliant frameworks, such as django-compress, can further streamline the development process. Easy_installation would also make sense for standalone use, ensuring yuicompressor is easily accessible in PATH.
Overall, YUI Compressor provides a powerful tool for developers looking to efficiently compress their CSS and JavaScript files. By bundling it with Python projects, it becomes more accessible to a wider range of users.
