Azurra Framework
The Azurra framework is a handy tool to maintain and develop many themes simultaneously. Where it really shines though, is when it's time to apply corrections or enhancements, for example support for a new widget or correcting that pesky coloring bug you finally solved.
The Azurra framework takes an object-based approach to theme generation. Each theme is an object and can inherit other theme's stylesheets, reducing the time and effort needed to support themes with a similar structure but a distinct visual identity.
If, like us, you work with many themes at once, then you will appreciate the bundle feature. It allows to group a number of themes together but bundled themes are still treated as framework objects.

With integrated tools, you can, as we did, create a brand new theme in minutes, just using the inheritance function. You will want to share core widget code among themes to reduce the patching time and also to keep work directories clean and unclutterd.
Azurra comes with a built-in deploy capacity. Once the generation is completed, it can copy the new resources over to a target folder. We use it to deploy our themes over to their corresponding Git repositories where they can be published to Github.
This is still a work in progress. We still have to port previous functionality over to Python since the previous language used fell out of the new scope.
