Pyarmor is a command-line tool for obfuscating Python scripts, making them hard to reverse-engineer. It also supports binding obfuscated scripts to specific machines and setting expiration dates for them.

Use cases

• obfuscate python scripts to protect source code
• bind python scripts to a specific machine
• set an expiration date for distributed python scripts
• protect python code before distributing to customers
• pack obfuscated python scripts with pyinstaller
• rename functions and variables so decompilers fail

When to choose

• you distribute Python scripts and need to hide the source code
• you want to enforce machine-locked or time-limited licenses on Python code
• you need obfuscation that works across Windows, Linux, macOS, and embedded systems

When to avoid

• you need a permissive open-source license - Pyarmor is shareware with trial limitations
• you only need simple bytecode compilation (.pyc) rather than strong obfuscation
• you require guaranteed compatibility with all Python versions and exotic platforms
