A more secure approach? (Py or Exe) [question]

[eViruxe]

Hello there,
what would be a more secure approach. Just obfuscating a python script using PyArmor 8.0 (Pro) or converting the python script into exe using PyInstaller then packing the exe file using PyArmor?

In current pyarmor 8.1.x, they're almost same.

In next month, some new features may be added to improve security of exe

1. obfuscating all the .pyc of system package in the bundle
2. binding obfuscated script to bundle loader, so that the obfuscated scripts couldn't run by any other Python interpreter

I'm currently using pyarmor gen -e 2023-06-15 --enable-bcc --enable-jit --mix-str --assert-call --assert-import --private --pack dist\Script.exe Script.py
Which approach would you recommend currently and next month?

Please check the latest documentation and releases in the GitHub.

Now it's not documented yet.

Understandable. Currently which approach would you recommend? Py Or Exe ?
