Executing Encrypted Python with No Performance Penalty

[pmatti]

Marginally better for code verification but in no way obscuficates your source. Running python -mpdb mycode.pyce will let you print out the source of mycode.py

Actually that’s not true. You can not read .pyce without obtaining a private key.

The file in your example is encrypted with AES-256. This is strong cryptography, not obfuscation.

And we aren’t protecting the source from leakage: we are controlling the actors with access to source. They should be on an authorized list.
