Unless you have some very specific (patent-prone) algo in your code, I do not think you really have an issue there: *.pyc is enough to disturb most people. The real danger I see is a company trying to copy your concept as the real IP (assuming the above is true) is in your specifications ... which can be re-designed from looking at your application: I buy one legal copy of your stuff, put a few smart guys on the deal and come up with a competitive application some time later (I've seen companies do that).
