to prevent reveres engineering for Python

2010-05-25 Thread Sandy Ydnas
Agree, reveres engineering is crucial issuer for programming language but every executable file can be cracked, for example by using disassembler!!! For each weapon there is antiweapon, so is it possible to prevent reveres engineering when customer have access to executable made from Python
