Grasshopper GHpython script Code visibility

One option would be to put the python code inside a cluster and then put a password on the cluster.
However it is possible to get inside a cluster without the password if you know how, so not fully secure, but it will be a deterent.
Another option would be to build them into actual components as compiled code.

Tutorial: creating a Grasshopper component with the Python GHPY compiler

GhPython in Rhino WIP ships with an all-Rhino Python compiler that can be used to create .Net compiled assemblies containing compiled instructions. Unlike other methods that are based on embedding a Python code string in a C# component, this speeds up code execution and makes reverse engineering more difficult. There are two options for the process of making a component, #1 is extremely simplified and #2 is more advanced. The component is able to pick up names, descriptions and help from the or…
