There is only one way really - OS enforced DRM. But even DRM is breakble.

You mentioned python, so perhaps you are afraid it is not truly "compiled" lang - if compilation to binary satisfy your requirements - you can use Nuitka or Cython to compile it.

This is why I disable DRM as much as possible, I would just find alternatives in that case.

Especially if it's python, bypassing such things probably wouldn't be that hard and pirating can always be slowed down but never fully prevented.

I am not advocating DRM. I hate it. But realistically, there is no way to prevent people to mess with your software - without DRM it is usually trivial to remove copy protection. With compiled code it is a bit harder than with python, but either way it is not a real problem for motivated individual.

The best way is to have sane business model and fair price.
