There are several django apps out there that do this. Here is a chart comparing some of them:
http://www.qompr.com/charts/59;django-asset-managers/ Two not mentioned on there are django-compressor and django-css. I wrote django-css, so I guess I'm pretty partial to that over the others. I've never used django-media-bundler, but it supposedly supports sprites, so that might be worth looking into. One thing that irks me about django-media-bundler and django-compress (don't know about the others listed there) is that you have to define your media bundles (CSS, JS, images) in your settings.py. I think it makes more sense to keep those in your templates like so: {% block compress css %} <script src="{{MEDIA_URL}}js/something.js type="text/javascript></ script> <script src="{{MEDIA_URL}}js/somethingElse.js type="text/javascript></ script> {% endblock %} and this is what django-compressor and django-css do. But, whatever floats your boat. django-css: http://github.com/dziegler/django-css django-compressor: http://github.com/mintchaos/django_compressor Good luck!
