Not even binary machine code is safe. Where do you think all these cracked softwares come from ? Back in the mid-heighties, when Steinberg came to France to present their brand new not-yet-translated-and-still-a-bit-unstable Cubit (aka Cubase) software - which was quite heavily protected -, a couple friends of mine where here with a cracked, translated, and *debugged* version of it !-) The only physical protection for your code is to *not* allow access to it in any form. IOW, a web application that *you* host. Now the question is who do you want to protect your code from ? As far as I'm concerned, I won't even waste a minute trying to retro-engineer a .pyc. > The best way to protected my code is a license? Apart from not granting access at all to the code in any form ? Yes. That, and providing good quality software and responsive service for a reasonnable fee - happy users will happily support you, and won't want you to die, and unhappy users won't use your software for long anyway.
