Obfuscation is a by-product of this process. But if code-protection is more paramount...it can be the considered the other way round too :)). Anyways, if you have not looked, (and I hope you have) at Cython ( www.cython.org), I would urge you to take a look. Cython shines at doing all of this and more in the most convenient way. Time well spent is time enjoyed, and I enjoyed learning about 2c-py. Thanks :)) Best regards, Vishal Sapre --- Please DONT print this email, unless you really need to. Save Energy & Paper.
