I know what you mean.

However consider this: There is no such thing as an executable which
cannot be decompiled; if the code can be executed, then anybody with
read access to the code can disassemble/decompile/whatever it -- there
is no theoretical difference between disassembling an .exe file and
decompiling a .pyc file. What's in a .pyc file is just the machine code
for a virtual machine ...

Consider changing your business plan: write crappy software, charge
heaps for support -- it's not a novel idea :-)
