{Spam?} [ale] (reasonably) mature GUI solutions in Linux

[John Wells]

Python is something I've thought about, but I'm unsure how immune to
reverse engineering the pyc compiled files are.  Since he needs to
distribute his apps to clients as closed-source apps (I know, I know. Hey,
first I have to ween him from Microsoft...), I'm not sure python will fit
the bill.  I've always assumed the compiled python files were really just
for optimization and were pretty easy to reverse engineer...is this not
the case?

If so, are there any obfuscation tools for Python out there?

Thanks for the input!!!
