Python Project Minify

Compile your python project into the most compact version it can be. This package internally uses the great Python Minifier package.

Installation

Install using PIP

pip install python-project-minify

Note the pip refers to the Python 3 package manager. In environment where Python 2 is also available the correct command may be pip3.

Usage

In console

Run the minify-project command in the terminal. It takes two arguments src and dst.

minify-project path/to/src path/to/dst

Python API

Import python_project_minify:

import python_project_minify

It's simple, just provide a source and destination path:

python_project_minify.directory('path/to/src', 'path/to/dst')

If you are providing paths with backslashes instead of forwardslashes like the example above, make sure to pass it with the r prefix. This way it will be treated as a raw string and won't throw an error.

python_project_minify.directory(r'path\to\src', r'path\to\dst')

Ignoring files and folders:

Create a file called .ppmignore in the root of your project.

## Ignore file in root
file.txt

## Ignore specific file
folder/subfolder/file.txt

## Wildcard ignore file
*file.txt

## Ignore folder in root
/folder

## Ignore specific folder
/folder/subfolder

## Wildcard ignore folder
*/folder

## If for some reason it's necessary to keep the .ppmignore file in the destination folder
PRESERVE_PPMIGNORE
