For distributing non-opensource software, it is helpful to just distribute the .pyc/.pyo files and not the original .py files. The reverse (just distributing .py files) is possible through the --no-target-compile and --no-target-optimize switches to the distutils bdist command. We have added a --remove-source option which goes through and deletes all the source files from the build directory. This has been tested and works smoothly with Python 2.2.3 and seems to apply cleanly to Python 2.3 |

Logged In: YES user_id=99508 It's someone trivial to retrieve the source code from a compiled bytecode module; distributing only the bytecode files does practically nothing to protect your source code. Check out http://www.crazy-compilers.com/decompyle/ |

Logged In: YES user_id=221678 Sure, I'm aware of decompyling. However removing the source might have a slight psychological effect on honest people. Also it ties in to license things about decompiling etc. |

Should the feature be added in 2.6? I'm -0 on it. |

I don't see this as particularly useful but other opinions are welcome. |

New features go into distutils2, not distutils. I’m -0 on this one. |

I am now -1: I don’t see this feature as particularly useful, and it would increase the maintenance cost. If nobody speaks up to defend it, I will reject it. |
