The OP was asking if Python offered a way to prevent disclosure of his 
source code.  The statement was made that copyright laws would protect 
him.

My point was not to examine the details of copyright and/or reverse 
engineering laws, but to point out that even if there is legal 
protection for the code, it's still a good idea to take active steps to 
prevent its disclosure.

Protecting the code prevents theft.  IP laws only give you a basis for 
legal action after the code is stolen.
