How to deploy ODOO without source code

Question

i'm trying to deploy ODOO without source code, but I can't and I don't know if it's possible. So, I need to know if it's possible to deploy ODOO without source code? By example, only with .pyc file instead .py

I need to separate the code of the compiled files, because I do not want that everyone with access to the server have access to the source code. Only developers can access.

Best regards

I think it will be easiest to give permission on folder, a special group for the source code. — yannicksoldati, Apr 11 '16 at 09:34

Short answer: you can't. It's very easy to get back the source code from .pyc files.

Longer answer: you may not have the right to do so. Odoo <= 8 is licensed under the AGPL and you must allow users to get the source code. Odoo >= 9 is under LGPL, and unless you host the code yourself, you have to give your customer access to the source code (note that your customer is different from end users)
