[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app- python code packed in clear ascii

the shelter,

The last time I built an app bundle, the only source file from my code  
in plain ascii was my main.py file.  Everything else was precompiled  
and zipped up in a sub-folder.  So the strategy to hide all source  
code was to create a main.py file which simply imports another file  
containing what used to be in the main.py file, and run it from there.

Here are some py2app resources I found useful:

http://undefined.org/python/py2app.html
