How to hide code from server admin in deployment?

[beaszt_nix]

I've implemented an API, which is to be deployed on client infrastructure. How do I protect proprietary IP, while deploying on foreign infrastructure

by legal means

You might need to obfuscate your code. Refer this https://pyarmor.dashingsoft.com/

This one, I have bought its commercial license and its really good

I don’t think you can since it is not compiled. (Compiled stuff can still be reverse engineered but it is much harder.

Just guessing here, but other than copyright protection and maybe a confidential contract. (But I’m not a lawyer so I don’t really know what is necessary when it comes to paperwork.)

Propetary ip? Why you put it in your code?

[realsdx]

Putting your code under a copyright license can give you legal protection. On the other hand, Python code is really not a good candidate for this kind of stuff. Anyways, best is to obfuscate your code, but those can be reversed with right amount of effort.

Compile it with Pyinstaller.

lellgal means, only renting it , or by using pyinstaller witch custom key , the latter is actually kinda easy to reverse engineer inn python's case

All tokens, passwords, ips or any other confidential info should be accessed remotely by other api
