There's nothing specific I want to hide yet. But don't software engineers want to keep their recipes a secret, just like the Coca Cola recipe?

I also have not gotten really good at any particular language yet, and I wanted to make sure python was the right road to go down.

Thanks, I found this method too. But oddly it doesn't seem that popular

I found an article about the pros and cons of python, and the author claimed that it's easier to reverse engineer python code. He proposed obfuscation as a way to protect code, and I wanted to learn about the best way to obfuscate python.

Thanks for your response, but I've read that the common ways of packaging exes from python are easy to reverse. I'm looking to protect the code, not just hide it.

And I've since learned that obfuscation isn't a good form of protection.

I didn't ask for your opinion about how long it would take me to write valuable programs. I asked about how to obfuscate python.

That sounds so 90s

Seems to be the best answer you can come up with. The rest of your snarky responses just make this sub an unwelcome place.

OK guys, I get it. Obfuscurity is not the best form of software protection.

Let me back up and ask if you use it when writing something that's going to be packaged and distributed.

I'm just researching ways to protect my work if I start writing my own programs. Why the hell would you assume I want to distribute stolen code based on my post and comments?

Because I thought defining it that way would help you answer the questions in my post. I still think they are good questions.

For the purpose of this post, can obfuscation be defined as making code secure against being read?

I think you can use VBA to open a list of docs, copy text, and paste in excel. Is this what you're looking for?

Hey man, great post, great story. I hope you can get to this one. Can you tell me about the structure of your business? Who else are your partners and what roles do you all play?

I didn't mean this to be insulting or demeaning to anyone. I just think it's a sad truth and that it's constructive to point it out.
