That's a pretty hard thing to do. If the user is supposed to be able to open and see the images from the program, then they can still PrintScreen and grab the image. All I can suggest there is adding a watermark, so you at least know if they are grabbing it from the screen. If you zip the images with a password, then that password will still be in the script, the user will be able to obtain it. You can try to obfuscate the password but that only goes so far, anyone with some python knowledge would be able to find it out. Maybe compile the sensitive parts with cython and hope the users are not curious?
