You might also consider Pyrex, which could let you write the sensitive
stuff in nearly-Python. Pyrex will translate into C for you, then
compile your module into an .so.

Extracting and decompiling Python code from a binary created with
McMillan installer/py2exe/etc. is a pretty trivial task, in the sense
that there are tools that will do the work for you, and give you in
return a near-letter-perfect copy of your original source.

I recommend reading Alex Martelli's respose to a similar inquirer a
while back:
