How can I hide source code from Python file?

Question

I am developing a paid application in Python. I do not want the users to see the source code or decompile it. How can I accomplish this task of hiding the source code from the user, but running the code perfectly with the same performance?

The best way would be to turn your python code into an executable file.

When u take a look here, there is a nice Tutorial on how to do it:

1. Install pyinstall via pip3 install pyinstaller
2. Pack your excecutable with pyinstaller main.py

There is a lot of options to tweak the output of your application, the docs can be found under https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/
