i used to work in a place that did this exact same thing. they attempted
to hide passwords in source code.
there is an even bigger problem with this then security of it in source
- if someone comprimises the password, how are you going to change it
quickly? all those systems will have to update the
I think that encrypt with public/private key will be a solution in your
case. I don't know if python has a module to do this kind of encrypt.

Keep in mind what i said, even you encrypt it the source (and decode at
run time), even if compiled via c++,c, etc., it can still be decrypted
if your using http as the protocol, all the person has to do is sniff
the packets. So if your going to encrypt your information make sure you
use a secure p
I suggest You to use base 64 encoded strings
something like
password = 'aGlkZGVuX3Bhc3N3b3Jk\n'
password = pasword.decode("base64")

True, but a script kiddie that only knows about the 'strings' program
will be forever baffled :)
Though deprecated, I think the

That will delay the attacker for a few minutes.

someone can sniff the client for the information it sends/receives so
its possible to extract the info that way.

Hello.
We have created some programs in Python that are to be distributed
around. The programs will be made into .exe files by py2exe. However,
in the source there are certain webadresses, logins and passwords that
the programs use, that we would like to keep away from the end users.
They will use
