... is to delete Python from the system, or the Python code. Or both. If Python can read a file, it can exec it. I suppose you could use file permissions and ACLs to prevent Python from reading the file, rather than delete it, but given the possibility of privilege-escalation security vulnerabilities, even that's not sure-fire. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
