Your best bet is to ensure that doesn't happen--secure passwords and limiting server access to your IP address is a good start. But if someone gets into your server they will be able to access your code. It doesn't matter if it's .py or .pyc--if it can be executed it can be deconstructed by a motivated attacker. This isn't the fault of Python, it's the same in other languages. You can obfuscate your code, but it's still security through obscurity. > Also, I read somewhere that google does not use python for its core > busines applications.

There are plenty of public facing services using Python, including Groups and Code. Google does a ton in Java (like Gmail) and that's really easy to decompile. Google protects access to its code and as such a .py file is just as secure as anything else. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
