Pyminifier is a command-line tool that minifies, obfuscates, and compresses Python source code. It can produce self-executing compressed scripts and zip archives (.pyz) bundling local modules.
Use cases
- minify python scripts to reduce file size
- obfuscate python source code identifiers
- compress a python script into a self-executing gzip file
- bundle a script with its local modules into a .pyz archive
- strip comments and docstrings from python code
When to choose
- you need to shrink or obscure standalone Python scripts for distribution
- you want a simple CLI to minify or obfuscate Python code
When to avoid
- you need robust protection of intellectual property (obfuscation is easily reversed)
- you need a modern actively developed minifier or bundler like PyInstaller or Nuitka
- your project relies on implicit imports with compression options
