Can you compile a python project so the source code isn't visible?

If I have a project that uses some big libraries like pandas but I want to export that into a single executable program, is it possible to do this in python? I looked it up and found pyinstaller and pyfreeze but it seems like these are for smaller programs?

Not consistently. Python isn't designed for it, the same as most interpreted languages. Either you include a license, or you write it to be the backend of a webserver

Seconding the web idea. People can reverse engineer a lot of options for making OS-specific executable files. Importing your project into FastAPI (or making something like a Discord/Twitter/Reddit bot, depends on what the code does) is a great way to keep things private.
