Frequently Asked Questions

Why minify Python?

Minifying Python primarily reduces code size. Unlike JavaScript or CSS, the performance benefits of minifying Python are usually negligible because Python is often used as a backend language.

Is minified Python harder to maintain?

Yes, you should maintain your original, well-formatted Python files and only use minified versions for specific purposes (e.g., reducing distribution size). Minified code is much harder to read and debug.

Does this minifier change variable or function names?

No, this minifier does not change variable, function, or class names. It focuses on removing comments, docstrings, and unnecessary whitespace.
