Django: compressing CSS/JS files with django-compressor

There are 2 main usual tasks with web project's deployment and about .css and .js files.
First one - size minimization. But there are lot's of utilities helping you to compress CSS files. Delete unused spaces, comments and so on... Second one - Version control. For e. g. When you've updated the script on your deployment server, but user's browser uses old one until user manually hits 'Refresh'.
That's where Static files compressor comes in to mind.

Upon selecting among available one's found top "google" results:
- django-compress
- django-compressor
- webassets

Project uses 'django.contrib.staticfiles', so django-compress was not compatible... It does not support Django's static files gently. Webassets s a good lib. but project has a huge amount of different static. Maybe it's ok for e small project, but when you need to specify/change a 100's javascript in python module for certain templates... Nothing good comes in mind. And imho TEMPLATES... That's where thing's like those should live.

So Django-compressor was chosen using those criteria. And, to mention, project is actively developed, supported and documented. Anyway adding it to your django project is quite simple, as most good apps.

What it does, it turns this:
