PYO - Obfuscator for Python (RENAMED FROM PYO)

The famous Phaistos Disc from Crete, obfuscation unbroken after thousands of years.

Pyo will obfuscate your extensive, real world, multi module Python source code for free! And YOU choose per project what to obfuscate and what not, by editting the config file:

• You can recursively exclude all identifiers from certain modules from obfuscation.

• You can exclude human readable configuration files containing Python code.

• You can use getattr, setattr, exec and eval by excluding the identifiers they use.

• You can even obfuscate module file names.

• You can run your obfuscated code from any platform.

Installation:

• Download and unzip Pyo into an arbitrary directory of your computer.

• You only need the files pyo.py and py_config.txt. They are in the pyo subdirectory of your unzipped Pyo version.

• Put pyo.py or a script to launch it in the path of your OS, or simply copy pyo.py to the topdirectory of your project.

Use:

• For safety, backup your sourcecode and valuable data to an off-line medium.

• Put a copy of pyo_config.txt in the top directory of your project.

• Adapt it to your needs according to the remarks in pyo_config.txt.

• This file only contains plain Python and is exec’ed, so you can do anything clever in it.

• Open a command window, go to the top directory of your project and run pyo.py from there.

• If the topdirectory of your project is e.g. ../work/project1 then the obfuscation result wil be in ../work/project1_pyo.

• Further adapt pyo_config.txt until you’re satisfied with the result.

• Type ‘pyo ?’ or ‘python pyo.py ?’ (without the quotes) on the command line to display a help text and the licence.

Important remark:

• Obfuscate your Python code only when stricktly needed. Freedom is one of the main benefits of the Python community. In line with this the source of Pyo is not obfuscated.

Example of obfuscated code:

import threading as x_pyo991_x
import Tkinter as x_pyo231_x
import os

from x_pyo912_x import *
from x_pyo843_x import *

class x_pyo884_x (x_pyo319_x, x_pyo271_x):
        def __init__ (self):
                x_pyo319_x.__init__ (self)
                x_pyo271_x.__init__ (self)

                self.x_pyo907_x = False
                self.x_pyo317_x = False
                self.x_pyo360_x ()

                self.x_pyo889_x = x_pyo231_x.Frame (self.x_pyo981_x)
                self.x_pyo973_x = x_pyo231_x.Frame (self.x_pyo981_x)
                self.x_pyo971_x = x_pyo231_x.Frame (self.x_pyo981_x)

Known limitations:

• A comment after a string literal should be preceded by whitespace.

• A ‘ or “ inside a string literal should be escaped with \ rather then doubled.

• A # in a string literal can only be used at the start, so use ‘p’’#’’r’ rather than ‘p#r’.

That’s it, enjoy!
