hi, sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but i think many people here must have the same concern, and have to cope with it somehow. it is still related to PySide and Python anyway, so please bear with me :-)
i am developing a Windows project using PySide. the final executable file .EXE and its libs will be generated with py2exe. my concern is that: even if the binary is without the source, the code is still Python bytecode. and as far as i am aware, it is pretty trivial to reverse the binary back to the Python code. (i am not very sure which tools can be used to reverse Python-based .exe files, though) i have few questions: 1) how serious this problem is in your opinion? is it really true that it is impossible to protect the binaries from reversing? 2) how efficient are the reversing tools on Python binaries now? would be great if somebody can share some experiences on using those tools. 3) if it is true that it is quite trivial to reverse the Python binaries, how are you currently protecting your binaries? perhaps with some obfuscated tools, making it much harder to reverse? please share your ideas. thanks so much, Jun _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pyside.org/listinfo/pyside
