How to hide the source code in Python forever?
Is there a way how to be sure, my source code is really hidden?
I use pyinstaller to create exe, in order to my friends can use my app without
python. My idea was to create a USB disk with all files from pyinstaller, they are locked to prevent the reading the code. This app could be started only by a shortcut on desktop. But i did not find a way how to solve it.
Do somebody know a functional way to lock my python app without opportunity of reading the code in order to use it only?

You can use pyinstaller with--onefileoption. So, you will have only exe file without any additional ones.

You could look into pyarmor. It obfuscates your code for you. It will make it another step harder. Creating a file with pyinstaller already makes it tough to reverse engineer it.

Thank you Bogdan. I hope the --onefile is very safely.

You could compile your code into "pyc" format with py_compile
import py_compile
py_compile.compile(filename, compiled_filename, optimized=2)
Note this :
You need the same version of python and all library that you use to launch this compiled file.
For load file (e.g. : open("text.txt", "r")), you need to specify all the tree (e.g. : open("C:/Users/Me/Desktop/MyProgram/test.txt", "r"))
