Hi, Wondering if it is at-all possible to implement "secure" (s.a. not viewable / tunable / tweakable) "Policies" in python ? Use-cases: 1) License enforcement -- Same application, licensed at differential price levels, based on various feature-sets. 2) "Parental-Control" enforcement. Application usable, with *all* features only if adult (a particular user-id) is using, and *restricted* feature set if a child is using it. 3) Enterprise Policy enforecement -- People from Dept-X shouldn't be able to use the application feature-set A, but only set B. However, people from Dept-Y should be able to feature-set A & B.
The question is for what could be a desktop (standalone) python application, or a hosted (SaaS) application. The target user group includes "Programmers" and "hackers", so while application need not be Fort Knox (no national secrets or mission-critical), it need to deter basic-to-moderate hacker attempts at bypassing policy. Seeking best-practise advice, including alternatives s.a. mixed-Language usage (but ideally, multi-platform / portable approaches). -- regards, Banibrata http://www.linkedin.com/in/bdutta
