protect binary generated from py2exe python

My project requires such that my python files have to be converted to py2exe. Fair and well , my py2exe is working. Assume my binary is called as "test.exe". I know that my test.exe contains all pyc files of my python file. What i want to do is , protect my text.exe, so that my source is not seen, in other words i dont want it be decompiled back, what can i do for this ?

  1. Rewrite the app in any compiled language that produce native executables. For example C, C++, Rust, Delphi and so on.
  2. Once you have compiled binary in system's native format (Windows PE f.e.) you can try to protect it with protector software such as BinArmor software protector, Themida protector etc.

You can always try to obfuscate your source code before building it. Have a look at http://freecode.com/projects/pyobfuscate . There always will be a way to decompile the binary but the resulting source would be very hard to read.

In short: nothing. Any executable can always be reverse-engineered.

More in detail: do you really think your code is so valuable that people would go to spend months to do that?

Also keep in mind that if you import any module released under GPL, you would be doing something illegal in not having your code as GPL as well.
