Sorry<br />
I thought Python was as runnable as html now, no? Only a ,pyc is. If I let a user of my system have access to my .py file, they can steal my code in text.<br />
Is using pyc the way to go? I basically provide an interface<br />
<br />
<br />
Basically, my RTS players will have my client network engine class running. I just don't want my code steal-able at a glance.<br />
thanks

Hi<br />
I'm so used to the .class binary encoding for the Java interpreter, which is a little hard to inspect and decipher.<br />
I wonder, is the user that runs my .py from online completely able to inspect and steal my code?<br />
A binary .class is a little harder to inspect and steal. If I inspect a .py inside a browser view source, it seems to be all the code?<br />
<br />
Can I make a get-around of sorts, but the .py code itself is unobtainable? Say I'd like to give a person my class's functionality, without them actually having the code? <br />
Thanks

Python - Is my game's .py code an open book?

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
