Hi, I know this is not the best way to do it. But I have to do it at least to make it *hard* to decompile the python bytecode.
I want to distribute a software written in Python without the source. So I compiled Python from source changing some opcode values (Taking care of HAVE_ARGUMENT value) and distributed with the .pyc files. It did compile but when I'm installing additional python modules using easy_install, the import fails with a segmentation fault. It worked in a 32 bit Centos 5.2 but not on 64bit Centos 5.2. I am using python 2.5.4 source. I changed only the Include/opcode.py source with my jumbled opcode values. Was I correct here ? I would like to know what all changes to be made as to successfully compile a custom python with different opcode values ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
