hi,

1st, let me say that this is perhaps not the appropriate list for such a 
question, but i can't find a list based on the topic of packaging python 
code into .exe's for distribution.  wouldn't there be enough demand for an 
extra list on this topic?

i'm interested in packaging my python scripts into .exe's, and am already 
doing this using py2exe or the Installer module. my questions are:

1)can python be considered a serious candidate for creating commercial 
applications, or should i be using a different language (such as--ugh--some 
flavor of C)?

2)is decompiling a python '.exe' easily done, and how?

3)how do i protect the resulting .exe's against others decompiling them?

4)is there perhaps a way to encode python script before freezing it?

muchos gracias,

tom
