I was just about to say something similar.
Python is designed to be open, and any attempt of protecting your source
code is pretty futile and how to de-compile pyc files is well known.
I was looking into this for similar reasons (not protecting my IP but
making some server communication a little bit more secure), but came to
the conclusion that python is simply the wrong choice of language if you
need to protect your source code.
There are many interesting discussions about this online which are worth
reading up on I think.

you're really paranoid, consider implementing parts of your code in C.
As far as versions go, it should be safe to assume that all versions
of Nuke 8.0 will use Python 2.7. I believe Nuke 6.2 was the first
version to use Python 2.6, but that's going purely on memory. Prior to
that, it was 2.5.

*Subject:* [Nuke-python] python versions used by NUKE
Hi everyone,
I want to distribute some NUKE python script as pyc file to protect my IP.
As pyc files are not compatible among different python versions, I
need a different pyc file for each version of python that is used by NUKE.
Is it save to assume that
NUKE 8 always uses Python 2.7,
NUKE 7 always uses Python 2.6,
and which other Python versions do I need to consider for earlier NUKE
versions?
Cheers,
Mathias
