Hi,
What are the ways to encrypt python files?
No, I just want to hide the scripts from others.
You can do that by deleting the scripts. Make sure you use a secure
deletion tool.
I'm not aware of any mechanism for encrypted executable python scripts.
You can obfuscate the code, but you can't encrypt it because the python
interpreter needs the script file to execute it.
The same holds true for any mechanism designed to encrypt executable code
regardless of whether it's script or compiled. At the lowest level the
processor only understands the instruction set, and encrypted code has to
be decrypted to execute.
As the decryption method is always available to anyone who has legitimate
access to execute the code, it's impossible to hide the code at that
point.
Example - if I give you an encrypted binary to run on your system, it
either has to be unencryptable
It'd be clearer if you used decryptable, since unencryptable has a very
different meaning.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unencryptable
using tools you already have, or using a
built in unencrypter, both of which you have access to and can use to
unencrypt the encrypted executable code.
likewise decrypter and decrypt.
