Hello, I usually have pyInstaller in hand to help me out with the distribution of my Python projects. It also allows me some sort of protection with my commercial Python scripts (my company keeps the source code private from our customers). Is there any plan to have a stand alone binary executable…

See [image] Julia static compilation General Usage Hi! I’m loving Julia and I have built optimization algorithms with it that are blazingly fast (runtime and development!) and I don’t see any reason to port them into C/C++ or similar for speed-up reasons. What I would ne…

Just FYI, it’s pretty simple to extract the source files from pyinstaller exe’s. See e.g. PyInstaller Extractor download | SourceForge.net .

Yeap I know… pls, don’t tell my boss about it. :wink:

This is going to become an issue for us as well. Previously, our model was that all of our code (the core code with the really important stuff that the founder doesn’t want ripped off is written in Julia) was only going to be at our own data centers, but now a big company wants to to use their equi…

@ScottP, we are in agreement with that. This is going to become an issue sooner or later…

[image] alfred: @ScottP, we are in agreement with that. This is going to become an issue sooner or later… I am not sure why this keeps being said, especially given the other dynamic language (R/Python/MATLAB) don’t do AOT compilation at all. Instead they just build executables which bundle a …

I think there’s a business opportunity here. If someone would make a closed-source fork of Julia that could run encrypted source files, then he could probably make a bit of money from every company that wanted to distribute closed-source software or libraries written in Julia.

The key would need to be available to make it run, so I don’t see how that improves much.

The situation would be similar to that of .p files in Matlab. In theory, if you spent enough time, you could probably reverse-engineer it. (The key must be in there somewhere, otherwise the code wouldn’t run.) But in practice it’s not worth the effort for most people.
