In my experience with some of them, they tend to zip up the source and wrap it into an executable that handles extracting and running it in a reproducible way. But I was never under the impression that it was a reliable way to hide it. Just another deterrent. At least Cython transpiles your python to C and then really compiles it to its own binary format. That has to be more reliable than archiving it into an executable, right? Either way, you can only do so much to protect your python source, if you are giving it to another party. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/CAPaTLMSmCqH1yGe_zxTL4WaEBXvda0fqJfeBLZiDba5iTDN3PQ%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/CAPaTLMSmCqH1yGe_zxTL4WaEBXvda0fqJfeBLZiDba5iTDN3PQ%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
