I must point out though that if your client is paranoid for intellectual property reasons (ie: protecting his assets), then you should be aware that even if you can decompile a Python compiled module (or a compiled java class), it's generally pretty useless in this form to any would-be-thief. Decompiling/Disassembling never gets you the original source code back. cheers James -- -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
