Is the Python Minifier free to use?

Yes, the Python Minifier is completely free to use with no signup or registration required.

Is my Python code secure?

Yes, your code never leaves your browser. All processing is done locally using client-side JavaScript, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What minification modes are available?

Four modes are available: Standard (balanced minification), Aggressive (maximum compression), Safe (minimal changes preserving readability), and Beautify (format and indent code).

Will minification break my Python code?

No, the tool preserves Python syntax integrity. The minified code remains fully functional and executable. You can also use the Validate Syntax feature to verify your code.

Can I remove docstrings from Python code?

Yes, the tool can remove triple-quoted docstrings (both """...""" and '''...''') from modules, classes, and functions.

Does the tool preserve shebang lines?

Yes, there's an option to preserve shebang lines (#!/usr/bin/env python) at the beginning of your script, which is important for executable Python scripts.

What does 'Remove Operator Spaces' do?

This option removes spaces around operators, converting code like 'a = b' to 'a=b'. Use this carefully as it affects code readability.

Can I beautify Python code with this tool?

Yes, the tool includes a Beautify mode that formats and properly indents your Python code for better readability.
