Cutting through all the smoke (thanks to the slight flame we had), this seems to be the answer that 'shines thorough'... if this is coming from an expert who knows the Language darn too well (and I don't doubt that Steve does), I'd take it. I'm a Noob with Python, and probably the question was a bit premature i.e. w/o enough research. Creation of 'pyc' in encrypted zip with a decrypting/embedded-interpreter launcher seems like an excellent work-around for what I need. I am not sure how many of you who are against obfuscation use Skype. I'd be glad to know. If you don't, I trust that you are a OSS zealot, and respect you for that. If you do, then you may be surprised to know that for the excellent functionality, ease-of-use and stability/robusness of communication it provides, it's one of the most closed-source software you could imagine. The strategic reasons for doing so are not too hard to imagine. Thanks to all for this response. BTW, I'm glad that I chose Python over few other available options. The community participation and response is quite fantastic. cheers.
