Remove Asserts

This transform removes assert statements.

Assert statements are evaluated by Python when it is not started with the -O option. This transform is only safe to use if the minified output will by run with the -O option, or you are certain that the assert statements are not needed.

If a statement is required, the assert statement will be replaced by a zero expression statement.

The transform is disabled by default. Enable it by passing the remove_asserts=True argument to the python_minifier.minify() function, or passing --remove-asserts to the pyminify command.

Example

Input

word = 'hello'
assert word is 'goodbye'
print(word)

Output

word='hello'
print(word)
