Depending on how "scare quote-y" the scare quotes are, if you're really out to avoid accidental tampering, why not just set the *.py files to read-only? Beyond that you get into rapidly diminishing returns; removing the .py files is feasible if you have some semblance of control over the interpreter, beyond that and you're usually better off with a binding legal agreement. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
