frozen-soup

Frozen Soup is a Python library for creating a single-file version of an HTML file by pulling in required external resources and in-lining them.

Built with Python using:

Inspired by (but not based on) SingleFile.

Created by Jim Winstead in March 2024.

Installation

Install this library using pip:

pip install frozen-soup

python -mfrozen_soup https://www.example.com

import frozen_soup

output = freeze_to_string("https://www.example.com")

This will serve up a single-file HTML version of the URL supplied. (This is not even vaguely appropriate for production use, but handy for testing.)

$ python -mfrozen_soup.server
Server started http://localhost:8080
$ curl -s http://localhost:8080/https://www.example.com

To contribute to this library, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd frozen-soup
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:
