This repository contains a Flask-based web API for minifying Python code using the python_minifier library. The API allows users to submit Python code snippets and receive the minified version in response. Additionally, it supports CORS to enable cross-origin requests from specified origins.

To set up the Python Minifier Web API, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine

   https://github.com/glad432/python-minifier-flask.git
   

2. Navigate into the cloned repository directory

   cd python-minifier-flask
   

3. Install the required dependencies listed in requirements.txt using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the Flask application:

   python app.py
   

5. The application should now be running locally.

• POST /: Accepts a Python code snippet via a form submission and returns the minified version of the code.
• POST /minify: Alternative endpoint for minification, accepting Python code snippet via form submission.
• GET /: Renders an HTML page.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is configured to allow requests from the following origins:

For example:

• https://glad432.github.io

• Flask: A lightweight WSGI web application framework for Python.
• Flask-CORS: A Flask extension for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), making cross-origin AJAX possible.
• Python_minifier: Minifies Python source code, reducing it to its smallest form.
