[Zope] Code protection in Zope

[Andreas Jung]

There is really no good way to protect Python code. Neither the Python 
sources nor the compiled
byte-code. Maybe contact Marc-Andre Lemburg from egenix.com...he gave a 
talk on a solution to
protect sources during the last EuroPython conference....but I can not 
remember the details.
