I was wondering if there is a mechanism to encrypt logging automatically in python. The issue is as follows: (a) An application (after py2exe) will go as executable and there is no need for the user to know that it is written in python. If an exception occurs and it is logged, then the user can understand it is written in python. (b) A security threat. If an exception occurs, the code is seen by the user - and possibly be misused.
Base64 encoding somewhat helps - which is supported by logging module - but even that is not very secure. If there can be an option - wherein we send in the password and the logging is encrypted - it might be better. I would have loved to provide the code, but I am completely tied up at the moment and wont be able to help for another month. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
