minted Environment Inside varwidth Environment

Question

Is there a way to incorporate a minted environment inside a varwidth environment? I have colored backgrounds for code snippets, and I did manage to put a minted environment inside a minipage, based on the answer to my previous question:

minted Environment Inside minipage Environment

However, it is really frustrating to manually adjust the width of the minipage for each code snippet. I tried wrapping the minted environment with the varwidth environment in minted.sty, but am getting some weird errors.

As a starting point you can use the following redefinition. Maybe someone can improve my code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted,varwidth}
\makeatletter
\newenvironment{mintedshort}[2][]
 {\VerbatimEnvironment%
  \renewcommand{\minted@proglang}[1]{#2}%
  \minted@resetoptions%
  \setkeys{minted@opt}{#1}%
  \begin{VerbatimOut}[codes={\catcode`\^^I=12}]{\jobname.pyg}}%
 {\end{VerbatimOut}%
  \minted@pygmentize@short{\minted@proglang{}}%
  \DeleteFile{\jobname.pyg}}

\newcommand\minted@pygmentize@short[2][\jobname.pyg]{%
  \def\minted@cmd{pygmentize -l #2 -f latex -F tokenmerge
    \minted@opt{gobble} \minted@opt{texcl} \minted@opt{mathescape}
    \minted@opt{startinline} \minted@opt{funcnamehighlighting}
    \minted@opt{linenos} -P "verboptions=\minted@opt{extra}"
    -o \jobname.out.pyg #1}%
  \immediate\write18{\minted@cmd}%
  \begingroup%
    \setbox0=\hbox{%
     \let\Verbatim\BVerbatim%
     \let\endVerbatim\endBVerbatim%
      \input{\jobname.out.pyg}%
    }%
   \box0%
   \endgroup%
  \DeleteFile{\jobname.out.pyg}}
\makeatother
