One approach could be to define and register your own import hook, similar to the "zipimporter". Such import hooks allow to find modules in non standard places, such as in a zip archive. Of course, you would need to implement the import hook in a standard place (accessible with the standard Python import mechanism). Another approach could be, that you move the created "*.pyc" files to standard import places for deployment. Note that you can disassemble "*.pyc" files and gain quite some insight by this. Thus, the protection provided by not deploying the source files is basic indeed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
