non-readable source code distribution

[Sam Marrocco]

So in "distributing" a python application to people, is there a way to 
obfuscate or compile the .py file into something that isn't quite as 
readable as a text file? I realize that it may be decompil-able (or 
something like that), but I don't want casual users altering the code.

Can Python code in several modules be "assembled" into a single, 
non-readable file for execution?
