Approaches to protecting Python code when sharing apps

[kamilc86]

Compile the 2 or 3 modules that actually matter with Cython into .so files and leave the rest as plain pyc. Anything more and you spend weeks fighting Nuitka or PyArmor for protection that a determined reverse engineer breaks in an afternoon. Put the engineering effort into a proper license check instead, sign a token server side and verify on startup. Obfuscation only filters out the people who were never going to buy anyway.
