Re: [Webware-discuss] executing .pyc files

[Aaron Held]

There is an example somewhere about how to modify import so that you can import encrypted files.  I used it once to import a config file that had a username/pass in it.  But of course I had the encrpytion keys in another python file somewhere.  The plan was for the application to request a set of keys from my server each time it runs.  I never got it to work. -Aaron Chad Walstrom wrote: On Thu, Aug 14, 2003 at 10:40:25AM -0400, Geoffrey Talvola wrote: Maybe you're trying to hide the source code by using .pyc files? BINGO! He's counting on code obfuscation through bytecode. There's very few other explainations for this. Now, as to the reasons why he'd want to obfuscate, there could be a few explainations, but the most obvious is commercialization of his software. Since the WebWare copyright license is not GPL, this seems to be a legitimate use of WebWare. Good luck! -- -Aaron http://www.MetroNY.com/ "I don't know what's wrong with my television set.
