How do I protect Python code? [closed]

Answer 1

I understand that you want your customers to use the power of python but do not want expose the source code.

Here are my suggestions:

(a) Write the critical pieces of the code as C or C++ libraries and then use SIP or swig to expose the C/C++ APIs to Python namespace.

(b) Use cython instead of Python

(c) In both (a) and (b), it should be possible to distribute the libraries as licensed binary with a Python interface.
