The Closure Compiler is a tool for reducing the size of Javascript files to make them download and run faster.

It's a Java-based tool. This package, in the spirit of the yuicompressor <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/yuicompressor/> package, provides a simple way to install and use the the Closure compiler from Python, bundling the closure.jar with the Python package.

I recommend looking at webassets for your CSS/JS compression needs.

Version YYYYMMDD of this package will bundle the corresponding version of the compiler (Closure uses the build date as the version).

If you want a new version to be uploaded, open a ticket at the Github page.
