Well, last time I looked, jythonc produced Java source code that looks
a lot like what one would expect from a Java version of Python2C or a
Python program translated fairly literally to a Java program making
heavy use of the Python runtime functions. Many people would consider
that obfuscated enough, but add the compilation to Java class files,
and anyone "decompiling" the code has a long way to go to get anything
like the original Python sources.
