Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

tailwindcss-bin

The Tailwind CSS standalone CLI, packaged as Python wheels. Requires Python 3.11 or newer. The bundled CLI runs without Node.js or npm.

Usage

uv add --dev tailwindcss-bin
uv run tailwindcss -i input.css -o output.css --minify
uv run tailwindcss -i input.css -o output.css --watch

Optional plugins:

uv add --dev 'tailwindcss-bin[tailwindcss-motion,tw-animate-css]'
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "tw-animate-css";
@plugin "tailwindcss-motion";

Both tailwindcss and python -m tailwindcss_bin configure NODE_PATH for installed plugin wheels. Run commands from the directory containing your CSS and templates, or use the Tailwind CLI's --cwd option.

For pip:

python -m pip install 'tailwindcss-bin[tailwindcss-motion,tw-animate-css]'
python -m tailwindcss_bin -i input.css -o output.css --minify

The package version follows the bundled Tailwind CSS version. Development versions such as 4.3.3.dev1 require an explicit version pin or your installer's pre-release option. A .postN suffix identifies a packaging-only correction.

Python API

import subprocess

from tailwindcss_bin import apply_node_path, find_tailwindcss_bin

apply_node_path()
subprocess.run([find_tailwindcss_bin(), "-i", "input.css"], check=True)

find_tailwindcss_bin() returns the installed binary's path. apply_node_path() adds installed plugin directories to the current process environment for child processes. It preserves existing NODE_PATH entries.

Supported platforms

Platform Architectures Requirements
Linux (glibc) x86_64, aarch64 glibc 2.24 or newer; compatible libstdc++
Linux (musl) x86_64, aarch64 musl 1.2; libstdc++ and libgcc
macOS x86_64, arm64 Minimum version is recorded in each wheel tag
Windows x86_64 64-bit Windows

The Linux wheel tags account for both glibc and the executable's embedded C++ libraries. Native file watching currently needs GLIBCXX_3.4.22 and CXXABI_1.3.9.

On Alpine:

apk add --no-cache libstdc++ libgcc
