How i can protect my python code - yuyboy - 03-15-2014
Hi all.
I'm new member her.
Im developing a piece of software in Python that will be distributed to my employer's customers.
If we distribute the .py files or even .pyc files it will be easy to (decompile).
Another aspect is that my employer does not want the code to be read by our customers, fearing that the code may be stolen or at least the "novel ideas".
Is there a good way to handle this problem?
Preferably with an off-the-shelf solution.
The software will run on Linux systems (so I don't think py2exe will do the trick).

There's no solid method to bullet proof python code, You'll have to come up with something yourself or you'll have to change the language that you're using like migrating to C++ perhaps (Just sayin)

I guess the OP is the same person as the person on stackoverflow for the second link you gave. As the question here is a copycat of the question on stackoverflo, lol hahaha

Why don't you make it opensource and put a licence like Apache, or MIT or GNU GPL etc.

lol I was thinking about telling you the same thing, You can host your program online but you'll have to find a host which supports Python or Django, So far I found this

http://bitnami.com/cloud
http://www.pythonanywhere.com/
