A way to protect proprietary python code /u/BeenThere11 Python Education

A startup I am associated with has a proprietary python code which is converted to an exe .

So this exe is used with a gui and used for application purposes.

What I have suggested is to have a sdk layer in between which assumes this exe In place after a setup is role and I can just directly use it through python programs by calling the exe with parameters. This way anyone can access it and build agents now as opposed to using the gui .

But I was thinking is there any other way I can just use the original python code as a module which is obfuscated but the interface is not and can be used so that noone can modify or use the code .

Thoughts. Thank you.

No it cannot be open sourced and apj is again a pain as you need an inbuilt server.
