Hi Dave,
Your solution sort of defeats my intended purpose (sorry for not
divulging my 'hidden agenda').
I wanted my application to "hide" the fact that it's a python
script, and look as much as possible like it's a compiled program.
The reason I don't just give my user a py file, is that I don't want
a cleaver user to change the innards of the script.
On the other hand, I don't want to make a compiled (freezed?)
version of the application, because it'll grow the resulting file
significantly, and I don't have the experience to know how it will
run on different Linuxes.
Bye,
Ron.
Hey Ron,
What i usually do to accomplish this is compile the script to a .pyc
just like you
did and then call that pyc from another script that's not compiled.
so in your case the not compiled script looks like:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import test_pyc.pyc
then run that script...
hope this helps...
alternatively you might have a look at:
