Note that tailwind now has a standalone binary: https://tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli

Ah that’s great to know thank you.

I have the same problem with my project! go vs. python but yeah I hated adding the npm stuff. Let's port tailwind npx command. I'll work on the go version.

I haven't tried it yet but I was planning on using this library to do most of the heavy lifting: https://pypi.org/project/treeshake/

It looks like it's calling C code via Cython so if it works, you could probably use the same underlying C code via CGo for your project.

As someone who currently runs Docker inside an M1 Mac: I agree with this: all commands should be written in Go. So much easier to install everywhere.

I have a somewhat neglected project to package Node.js for PyPI. Perfect for you type of project, the idea being you can have it as an optional dependency that gets installed into the users venv, and you can the run tailwind from Python.

Very interesting! I’ll check it out — it looks quite promising as a solution
