"How to protect the python code"

[Saba Kauser]

Hello Experts,

I am looking for ways available to protect the python source code from being available to users for write/modify.
Is it a good idea to think that python source code can be protected?

I am aware that there are ways available to generate extensions like in C(.pyd files) and module the sensitive code likewise, but are there any better options available for protecting the native python source code itself. My requirement is to have the application/source in native python and not intermediate to other languages.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!
