This isn't really the same thing. Those things (at least after my brief googling) are for building apps. This is an attempt at packing everything else -- mostly an installer, build system, and auto updates -- but for .NET apps rather than python apps.
(If there's such a set of things for python desktop apps, including a byte code obfuscator ideally, or someone builds it, that'd be awesome and I'd love to know about it!)
- MostAwesomeDude 15y agoI think it's interesting that you mentioned Python instead of C or C++. There is no such thing as bytecode obfuscation for Python. The nature of Python's bytecode is such that there is no effective way to obfuscate what the bytecode is doing without incurring massive slowdowns. Consider using legal means, rather than technical means, to protect your code from prying eyes, and remember that many proprietary companies publish Python source with their non-free software. My favorite example remains Civilization 4.
