This comes up every once in a while.  If you want to hide your source,
python is probably a bad choice of language -- it's designed to be
easy to understand, and you can probably decompile the byte-code
pretty easily.

Have you considered Perl?  The advantage of Perl is, you could share
the source code with anybody you wanted, and be perfectly safe.  You
can easily write Perl code that makes no sense at all to anyone but
you  :)
