lopers, when writing code consider how protected their code will
be when considering what language they will write it in i.e ease of
use, speed of language, maintainability and 'obfuscatability' ?
Is the problem of protecting or otherwise encrypting portions of code a
showstopper for some companies/individuals when using bytecode
interpreted languages?
I'm asking coz i don't have any real world/industrial basis to better
understand the problem and factors involved when selling software - i'm
just a student

Are there any commercial, or otherwise obfuscators for python source
code or byte code and what are their relative advantages or
disadvantages. I wonder because there are some byte code protection
available for java and .NET, although from what i've read these seem to
be not comprehensive as prote
