Can I block others from seeing my code? I'm working on something in Python. As I save it, it's a (.py) and everyone can right-click and see the code. This is unlike C where I generate an .exe that you can't simply (!) read.

1First, why do you want to do this? – Collin May 09 '13 at 14:48

No, not really. See [Undecompilable Python](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15087339) for a more in-depth discussion. – Martijn Pieters May 09 '13 at 14:48

I just want to hide it for my own reasons... – Ofek .T. May 09 '13 at 14:48

@Ofek.T. I can only think of you trying to scam someone. – Patrik Lippojoki May 09 '13 at 14:50

Not at all. I have a reason that doesn't
any scam of any kind. – Ofek .T. May 09 '13 at 14:51 -

doesn't converting you code to .pyc help. I always have modle sbeing imported in a small "main" script, importing leads to creation of pyc's, which is what i ship to who-so-ever I wrote the code for (along with a small
_main.py) – pranshus May 09 '13 at 15:06

You can read the assembly code generated by the process of the compilation in C. The code is not hidden : it's a bit more complex to read, because it is ASM. But it is totally and definitively not hidden :)
Python is made by Open Source community, so the idea is not about hiding your code. If ever you want to make a .exe from a Python code, you can have a try to Py2Exe or Freeze :

@Ofek.T. : ASM is sometime simple for people as like as Python is simple for others, especially in RE community :) – Koreth May 09 '13 at 14:56
