i figured out a better way.
All the data is written to a dictionary which in turn written to a py file.
All the py file are compiled and and are INSIDE the exe.
So I deliver ONLY 1 exe.
everything including fonts are inside the exe.

Thanks for the support. I have learnt a lot from these forums.

This is ridiculous. Your proposed measures 1. Disrupt normal computer
operation far beyond any normal use case would dictate, and 2. Do not
prevent your stated unwanted behavior. There are lots of programs out
there that capture screenshots and video without using the clipboard; on
some systems (mac, for one) these are the default. You've demanded a blood
draw to get in the front door but the side entrance is wide open and
wheelchair accessible.

Hi Alec,
No offence to you or to anyone who may think contrary, but disrupting
computer operation is not what this does.Sometimes when I am writing things
to my DVD burner windows doesn't respond normally. The normal operation of
windows is disrupted. So what is the malware here? There are many other
situations like that. The meaning of the word malicious is intent to harm.
So malicious software is software is software written with the intention of
harming other software or what ever. My program is a music teaching
software and the reason I disable certain keys after the user is informed
is to prevent certain unwanted actions like screen copying. SO if they want
to capture any screens while running an education program which has
informed them that they can't capture screens while it is running is a bit
strange. Everything is returned to normal once the program is exited. :) So
not malware.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I respectfully disagree. Note the first
criteria in the first line of your linked article:
Malware, short for malicious software, is *any software used to
disrupt computer operation*, gather sensitive information, or gain
access to private computer systems.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware#cite_note-1
Your program clearly disrupts computer operation.
Also was not referring to full screen mode.
Not that it matters, but if you don't say what you're referring to,
its hard for people to point out how your analogy is probably wrong.

I think you're referring to fullscreen, which doesn't actually lock
up the OS, it just takes over the screen, and all functions of the OS
are
still as usual. And a critical difference is that fullscreen is
functionally important to the program, and is very obvious when its
happening, whereas disabling the clipboard is just, in my opinion,
malevolent.

some games lock up the os and you need to exit the game to have
access to the os. Does that make the game a malware?

If you're clearing the Windows clipboard, you might want to let
the user know that. Very prominently. Otherwise your program is
basically
malware in my opinion.
It's still, in my opinion, malware, but at least you'd be warning
the user so they'd know that running your program will cripple their
os
while it's running.
Or just don't do silly things like clear the clipboard...

Dear Vincent and Dan,
All points taken positively. I'm still learning Python and all
this help and advice is making me write better and more pythonic code.
I will leave this path and continue on the one I started
traversing.
I thank you all very much. May you be well.
