python LessCss Compiler.
v0.6

A compiler written in python 3 for the lesscss language. 
For those of us not willing/able to have node.js installed in our environment. 
Not all features of lesscss are supported (yet).
Some features wil probably never be supported (JavaScript evaluation). 
This program uses PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) to tokenize/parse the input. 

This is an early version, so you are likly to find bugs.
