title: Protecting python source code
body: <p>I want to protect python script, since people most likely known to be jerks and steal someones work i would really like to protect it.
  Its sad how easily it can be stolen... copy paste my work that i spent months in and then someone changes bits and claims it for himself.</p>
  
  <p>How can i prevent anyone from seeing code? (i tried py2exe and similar, but that most often is suspicious to user since its .exe and i don't want anyone to be afraid of my software)</p>
  
  <p>Linux
  Python2 &amp; Python3 </p>
