Hi All,

Is there anyway to secure python source code?

I am a maxscripter learning python. In 3DSMax I can "encrypt" my final source code and it will still run, but the end user can not examine the source code. I want to do the same thing in Blender. Is this possible?

Blender is 'open-source', released under the gpl, which requires changes to the source code to be freely available.

I do believe python can be compiled.
