What's the best way to use CoffeeScript with Django if you're developing on Windows?

Question

While starting to use Sass / Compass with Django couldn\'t be much easier regardless of platform, it has taken a bit of searching around to find the best way to use CoffeeScript

Answer 1

You can use one of these CoffeeScript compilers.

Some of them support file system watching, like the official node package. So you can start a console and do

coffee -c src/ -o /bin --watch 

and all the coffeescript files in src will be automatically recompiled when they change. You don't need any special integration with django, although it might be nice.
