What it is and what it does
Pyarmor.cli.core.linux is a platform-specific extension package that supplies pre-built runtime modules for Python script obfuscation on Linux. It provides the pytransform3 and pyarmor_runtime modules that enable obfuscation by renaming identifiers, converting functions to C, and binding scripts to specific machines or expiration dates. The package supports Python 3.7 through 3.14 and multiple architectures.
Obfuscated scripts remain as standard .py files that import from the runtime modules supplied by this package, allowing them to replace originals in most deployment scenarios. The free trial version never expires but has feature limitations; commercial licensing is available for unrestricted use.
Use it for
- Protect proprietary Python source code from reverse engineering before distribution.
- Bind obfuscated scripts to specific machines to prevent unauthorized copying or execution elsewhere.
- Set expiration dates on obfuscated scripts to enforce license terms or time-limited trial periods.
- Convert performance-critical Python functions to C for both security and speed improvements.
- Deploy Python applications on Linux where source code confidentiality is required.
