No Smalltalk or Lisp? (I saw a few Smalltalk ads recently interstate, but they look like they were bridges into other languages).

I have written an obfuscator/signing module import mechanism for Python, but ultimately these things are breakable (I've no delusion about how easily breakable these schemes are :-).
