Windows installer from python source code without access to source code
I want a windows installer to install my application that's written in
python, but I don't want the end user to have access to my source code.



Is that possible using python? I was using cx-freeze, but that has the
source code available. So does pyinstaller. I think gcc does, too.



Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Fundamentally no, it's not. Python code will always be distributed as
some form of bytecode. The only way to make it available without
revealing anything is to put it on a server and let people access it
without running it themselves.

But why is that a problem? Copyright law protects you from people
stealing your code and making unauthorized changes to it, and if
you're not worried about them making changes, there's no reason to
hide the source code (whatever you distribute would be just as
copiable). Are you concerned that people will see your bugs? We all
have them.

The OP is asking for source code not to be available, not bytecode.
There are obfuscating tools like PyArmor you might want to have a look at.

The byte code can be decompiled, though, so the attempt to hide the code
won't be completely successful if someone wants to make the effort. The
same is true, e.g., about Java. The class files don't include the
source, but they can be decompiled.

Others have commented that at some level it will always be thre but on a
more pragmatic level tools like py2exe bundle up a Python app as an exe
file which might be all you need?

I'm sure if a user dug deep enough they could still find the source (or
something close) but to deter casual browsing it might be what you want.

Caveat: I've never used py2exe in anger and my experiements were before
Python3 so ive no idea what it does today! But a quick check suggests it
still exists and works with python3 code - last major release was in Nov
2022.

Cython can compile a script to C source code for a module or
executable (--embed). The source can be compiled and linked normally.
For example, the following builds a "hello.exe" executable based on a
"hello.py" script.

> cython -3 --embed hello.py
> set "PYI=C:\Program Files\Python311\include"
> set "PYL=C:\Program Files\Python311\libs"
> cl /I"%PYI%" hello.c /link /libpath:"%PYL%"
> copy hello.exe embed
> embed\hello.exe
Hello, World!

I extracted the complete embeddable distribution of Python 3.11 into
the "embed" directory. You can reduce the size of the installation, if
needed, by minimizing the zipped standard library and removing pyd
extensions and DLLs that your application doesn't use.

The generated "hello.c" is large and not particularly easy to read,
but here are some snippets [...]:

[...]
/* Implementation of 'hello' */
static PyObject *__pyx_builtin_print;
static const char __pyx_k_main[] = "__main__";
static const char __pyx_k_name[] = "__name__";
static const char __pyx_k_test[] = "__test__";
static const char __pyx_k_print[] = "print";
static const char __pyx_k_Hello_World[] = "Hello, World!";
[...]
/* "hello.py":1
* print("Hello, World!") # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

__pyx_t_1 = __Pyx_PyObject_Call(__pyx_builtin_print, __pyx_tuple_,

It would help if you would explain what you want to accomplish and why.
Do you expect to make money off your software? If not, why do want so
badly to protect it?

The most basic answer is that your code is automatically protected by
copyright law unless you say differently. But it is still a good idea
to state outright what actions would be allowed and what would be forbidden.

If you do expect to make money, you could look at what phone apps
developers include with their apps. And it would be good to consult a
lawyer who practices in this field.

If your needs are basic, you shouldn't need a lawyer. Copyright law
and treaties DO protect you. But it's important to be aware that no
amount of legal protection - whether you hire a lawyer or not, and
whether you identify copyright and license or not - will stop people
from copying your code. NOTHING will stop people from copying your
code if they have access to it. All you can do is discourage them.

So that brings us back to the original question: Why protect your
*source code* specifically? There are two extremes available to
everyone:

1) Distribute the source code. Let everyone see it. Stick a license on
it that permits them to use it, modify it, distribute modified
versions. Set your code free and let it be used.

2) Don't distribute the program *at all*. Don't distribute the source
OR the binary. Instead, permit people to *access* the program - which,
in today's world, usually means a web service.

Both of these are very popular and work well. I don't have access to
the Gmail source code but I'm using the service. I don't have access
to the Twitch.tv source code but I'm using the service. Meanwhile, I
have Python programs running on a Debian system using the Linux
kernel, invoked using bash, served from an ext4 mass storage device,
etc, etc. I have the binary code for all of these, and I'm legally
guaranteed access to the source if I want it, so there's no incentive
to steal it.

The middle ground of "distribute binaries but stop people from
accessing the source" is a much narrower use-case, and I would say
that it's not actually a single use-case but a family of them, each
with different needs and requirements. So it's essential to know what
you're actually trying to protect, and why.

You have access to Gmail's front end source code. Your web browser runs
it every time you use the service (and probably while you aren't using
the service, too). My educated guess is that Google expended some
effort to hinder you from looking at and/or analyzing (or do you say
analysing?) that code, and that their lawyers will come knocking at your
metaphorical door if they so much as think you are using that code in
some way other than running it inside your web browser. If only this
situation were a cruel April Fool's Day joke.

You don't have access to Gmail's back end source code.

Many/Most web apps follow this pattern to varying degrees. I do not
know whether this setup meets the OP's requirements.

Yes, and I'm talking about their back end source code, which I most
definitely do NOT have access to, and therefore cannot copy.

They haven't done very much, I happen to know this relating to other
services. From what I can tell, Google's front ends aren't very well
protected, for the simple reason that they're quite useless without
the corresponding back ends.

Exactly. That's why I pointed it out. This is the only way to truly
protect your source code: Don't give it out.

When you put license terms on something, that is a *legal statement*.
Read the license you're applying and don't just pick for the sake of
picking. By applying this license, you are granting legal permission
for anyone to redistribute your code in source or object form.

On the plus side, you've just made all questions of obfuscating your
source code completely irrelevant :)

You can dual-license it - one license for free uses, one for commercial
users. But read GitHub's terms of service to make sure your repo is
going to continue to qualify - you might need to start paying them if
your code goes commercial.

It is part of visual studio C++.
Once you have that installed there are bat files that setup environment in the terminal.
Then you can use cl, nmake etc

RE: Windows installer from python source code without access to source code [ In reply to ]
I downloaded VS community 2022 and I know how to access the developer command prompt. I'm using the one called x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022

I ran a command to compile my python code that was converted to c with the following command:

H:\Users\LindaJim\Documents\SourceCode\Software\aws_pc_backup\src\c>cl /O2 /I"C:\\Users\\jschw\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3112\\include\\" aws_pc_backup.c C:\\Users\\jschw\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3112\\libs\\python311.lib

aws_pc_backup.obj
C:\\Users\\jschw\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3112\\libs\\python311.lib
Creating library aws_pc_backup.lib and object aws_pc_backup.exp

When I ran the program, I got this, though. Obviously, it doesn't know about the requests package. Do I have to link something in with the executable?

It is part of visual studio C++.
Once you have that installed there are bat files that setup environment in the terminal.
Then you can use cl, nmake etc

In most cases an application should be isolated from PYTHON*
environment variables. If you're creating a Python application or
embedding Python in an application, use the embeddable distribution,
and add any additional required sys.path directories to the included
"._pth" file (e.g. "python311._pth").

RE: Windows installer from python source code without access to source code [ In reply to ]
Yea, thanks a lot. That makes sense. I was testing it on my development environment and got it to work that way, but I need to package it and test it on my dual boot "user" environment. Thanks again for the help. I've deleted that environment variable.

I read this list via the newsgroup, so don't see those links. However,
I've always thought those Mailman pages are confusing for anyone not
already familiar when it comes to subscribing. The option to
unsubscribe is right at the bottom of the page under the "Python-list
Subscribers" section, which looks like it's only for list
administrators! Ignore the admin address and password boxes, just fill
in your email address in the box below those and click "Unsubscribe or
edit options".
