Python Obfuscator
A browser-based tool that transforms Python source by renaming identifiers, removing comments and docstrings, and encoding string literals.
Field notes
The interface applies selectable source transformations rather than presenting a single opaque conversion. Its safeguards are unusually concrete: local variables and parameters are separated from builtins, imports, and attributes, while global-function renaming carries an explicit warning about name-based imports. The page also offers short, confusing, and hexadecimal naming styles, plus copy and download actions for the resulting source.
