How can I convert .py file to .pyc file.

[jitesh]

Sorry for my noviceness.
Is it possible to handover an application to my client without giving
the source code because I don't want to open the source code OR is
there any way to convert .py file to .pyc or .exe file.
Any help is appreciated.

from shell/command

python -m compileall .

You can do that, but it won't help much. If the Python interpreter
can execute a .pyd file, then it isn't very difficult to reverse
engineer it either.

Hiding your code is a Bad Idea (TM): why not consider a different
business model or negotiate better terms with your client?
