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!

Not necessarily. I can think of one other reason--he may not want users to be able to change the code locally, so creating a local fork that would eventually be impossible to update.
