A very thin wrapper around the YUI Compressor. You must set the environmental variable YUICOMPRESSOR_JAR to the location of the YUI Compressor JAR file.
Since the syntax is the same as for the jsmin method one can do:
# 's
1if yuic_present():
2 print 'Using YUI Compressor'
3 self.minifier = yuimin
4else:
5 print 'Using JSMIN'
6 self.minifier = jsmin
