In addition to the standby of -Don't distribute your program (SaaS) I'll add to the list: -Only distribute your program to people too non-technical to consider reverse-engineering -Don't document your program (or even better, *mis*document your program) -Write Lovecraftian code ("import goto" comes to mind) designed to make reverse-engineers go insane trying to figure out what you were thinking -In your Python, drop to in-line assembly language "for business-logic optimization". Only targeting specific models of obscure processor architectures helps minimize your audience. -Write software that does nothing of interest/value/use Just a couple ideas to get an enterprising young coder off on the right track ;) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
