Hi all,

I was just wondering, if you wish to commercialize an application
developed in Python, what's the way to go?
I guess the only way is to sell the source, right?

This is because (and tell me if I am wrong):
1) You can't sell an executable because Python doesn't compile to native
code (the usual approach, afaik);
2) You can't sell the bytecode, otherwise you get the client stuck with
a specific python version (given bytecode might vary between versions)
(the alternative);

Cheers,
