You're editing the minified CSS!?

I'm obviously a little biased here, but Kickstrap is the way to go. The 
entire Bootstrap library is kept completely unchanged in a separate folder 
while you write your customization on top of it. On my machine, I just made 
the Bootstrap folder in Kickstrap a git clone of the Bootstrap repo to 
update it every time I build my project.

And, since Django's beauty is in its modularization, Kickstrap and Django 
get along very well. I've seen a lot of people using it for Django, even 
though it can be used with virtually anything.

One more thing, unlike just using straight Bootstrap, even with their 
"extend" instructions, with Kickstrap you can toggle on or off each 
Bootstrap component to keep your CSS small. For example, if you're not 
using button groups, you would just comment out //@import 
"...button-groups.less" and you can always turn it back on if you decide to 
use it later.

With the apps, themes, and extensions store I'm building now (in Django), 
you'll also have access to all that.
