Powered by Mod_Python and running under Apache 2, or as a standalone
tool, Switch CSS is a full featured, production ready CSS preprocessor.

Some of the features include:
- variables
- constants
- selector prepending:

#selector {

.class { property: value; }

}

outputs:

#selector { }
#selector .class { property: value; }

With unlimited levels of nesting, this makes CSS easy to read and fast
to write.

- selector copying:

#selector { width: 200px; }

#other_selector { @copy #selector; }

outputs:

#selector { width: 200px; }

#other_selector { width: 200px; }

- selector inheritance:

#selector { width: 200px; }

#other_selector { @inherit #selector; }

outputs:

#other_selector,
#selector { width: 200px; }

#other_selector { }

There are other features, also. I think that's enough to get people
excited.

Switch was designed as a production-ready tool to solve the problem of
front-end design with CSS based-layouts and large CSS files. As we
realized we had 40,000 lines of CSS written and no means of abstracting
or managing the code easily, we decided to write a preprocessor that
was easy to use and had all the bells and whistles a CSS designer could
ever want.

The sourceforge project link follows. We could really use some tire
kickers...
