A converter from plain CSS to Stylus. I started this project to create a Stylus file out of the jQuery Mobile standard theme, but figured it might be useful as a generic tool.
WORK IN PROGRESS!

If you wanted to
- extract a Stylus file from the jQuery Mobile CSS file
- change the theme by setting your own variable values
- merge these values together with the Stylus file into a final Stylus file containing your theme
This is how you achieve the above:
css2stylus.py convert --input jquery.mobile.theme-1.1.0.css --vars-output jquery.mobile.theme-1.1.0.css.autogen.vars --output jquery.mobile.theme-1.1.0.css.autogen.rules --vars-module jqm_variables
# edit values in "jquery.mobile.theme-1.1.0.css.autogen.vars" and save it as "my-theme.vars.styl"
css2stylus.py merge --input jquery.mobile.theme-1.1.0.css.autogen.rules --vars-input my-theme.vars.styl --output path/to/output/my-theme.styl
You may want to run this in an automatic build script to re-generate your theme file when you change the values. Above, I'm mentioning "path/to/output" separately because tools like Brunch (with Stylus plugin) automatically convert all ".styl" files to regular CSS, and you only want that to happen for the final "my-theme.styl" file.
Please see the file some_test_rules.py.
