The Original Poster *explicitly* stated that he was aware of the .pyc files, and rejected that strategy because .pyc files can be decompiled. He was asking for something which can't be decompiled, which is not possible since machine code can also be decompiled -- in fact, there are probably lots more disassemblers and decompilers for C than there are for Python. I'd rather educate him so he stops wasting his time rather than reinforce his ignorance by pretending that there are ways of distributing code without it also being decompilable. You suggested that it does harm to Python to give developers a realistic understanding of what Python is capable of, and that it's better to give them a misleading answer. I reject that idea utterly. -- Steven D'Aprano -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
