Yes - short answer is you cannot really "protect" Python code directly
(see: https://python-compiler.com/post/how-to-distribute-python-program )
Long answer - don't sell your code to anyone that you do not trust
with it. Obviously, there is a legal route, but there is also the
"name and shame" option. Sometimes open source is better; you get
paid for your time to work on the code rather than trying to sell it
as a product - which then you have to try and protect. The open
source option prevents the company from "selling" the code (well, they
would look very silly if they tried to do that) and establishes you as
the "go to" person for creating and maintaining that type of system.
If they do make changes to the open source code, you'd get the benefit
as well.
In general, try and create partnerships with your clients so they want
to include you in the development process, rather than treating each
as other as competitors.

You can't really do that with Python - however - IF you want to go
down that route, you can just use the pyc files - you can
theoretically backwards compile them, but I think this is the most
you can do....

I get your point but my solution is kind of a SaaS
Application. the client wants to host it on his controlled
server and if they get the source code, they can replicate,
modify and maybe sell it. Is there a way to host the compiled
file or lock the directory to the project.
Maybe you need to discuss the client's requirements and license them to
do what you agree is OK and you retain whatever control over the source
you want.
I'm guessing that might be expensive getting a lawyer to do it.
Otherwise, as Andréas said, just deploy the pyc files.

When I work on client projects, I deploy to a test server

they have paid the invoice, I deploy to the production
server under their control. At that point, I don't care if
they have access to the code - my contracts give the
clients all rights to the project code upon completion of
the project.

How can I go about it please?
