I think the main point of doing a Python-to-C conversion followed by
creation of a dll which is re-imported into Python is performance.
Obfuscation is a by-product of this process. But if code-protection is more
paramount...it can be the considered the other way round too :)).
Anyways, if you have not looked, (and I hope you have) at Cython (
www.cython.org), I would urge you to take a look. Cython shines at doing
all of this and more in the most convenient way.

Time well spent is time enjoyed, and I enjoyed learning about 2c-py. Thanks
