Anti- Re: De-compiler for *.pyc files

[Shichang Zhao]

If I make a product using Python, that means someone gonna be able to 
decompile it and peek the source? Than how do I protect my private part? 
(no misunderstanding, I am a person supporting Open Source, but you know, 
if you work for other companies, they may not like the idear)

Do to www.google.com, type "decompyle" into the box, and then hit "I'm
feeling lucky".

Warning: It probably won't work.  But it's worth a try.

Failing that, you can just use the `dis' module on the functions and
work out what they do by hand, which is not very hard, but very
tedious.
