I have a C# CLI Application project, in that i have embedded a python script with its dependencies.

My python scripts directory/files details embedded in project are:-

  • py_scripts\format py_scripts\plugins py_scripts\utils py_scripts_main_.py py_scripts_pycache_ py_scripts\format\bit.py py_scripts\format\cmd.py py_scripts\format\ctr.py py_scripts\format\fnt.py

These are located in my resources and all the files are dependent on each other to work, So, i just want to call 'py_scripts_main_.py' with some parameter from my C# application and I don't want that anyone can see/edit/view my python libraries anyway

Also, this library is not be converting into an exe file, so i am keeping them in resources

Help me I tried this one but i think it will not help me with dependencies : Embedding Python in C# via resources

    Why are you doing this in the first place? You aren't hiding anything - anyone can read those resources using the same function calls you'd use in C# to read the resources. You'd have to use those functions in Powershell too, to extract the resources to local files and execute them – Panagiotis Kanavos Jul 15 '20 at 15:10
  • Ok, so if anyone have a better idea to hide my scripts and use them easily using my application, then please suggest me... I also wanted to tell you that, I am not good in python programming and my friend created this very important scripts for me and i wanted to use it in my application without allowing anyone else to use it – CRONOQUILL OFFICIAL Jul 16 '20 at 09:54
  • In that case, it's probably code that can easily be found by googling and replicated. If the scripts contain credentials, passwords etc, just *don't* put them in the scripts themselves. This isn't a .NET question anyway, it's a Python question, asking how to protect/obfuscate scripts. In 90% of the cases, it simply isn't worth it. The other 5% is related to licensing which is far easier to do with an online license checking server. In the remaining 5%, you can use several tools built for this. Or just *compile* the scripts. – Panagiotis Kanavos Jul 16 '20 at 10:07
