I use Python for running background tasks. I wrote many servers in Python and also websites. Users are using it, but they do not have access to the .py files. This is one possible way to do it. E.g. hide the whole computer system from the end users, and allow them to access some restricted interfaces only.
Of course, you cannot distribute or sell these programs without showing the source code. You can sell them as a service; that is accessible remotely. Or you can sell them together with the machine, cased and stamped. :-) Laszlo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
