How the documentation is organized

Pyarmor has a lot of documentation. A high-level overview of how it’s organized will help you know where to look for certain things:

• Part 1: Tutorials takes you by the hand through a series of steps to obfuscate Python scripts and packages. Start here if you’re new to Pyarmor. Also look at the Getting Started
• Part 2: How To guides are recipes. They guide you through the steps involved in addressing key problems and use-cases. They are more advanced than tutorials and assume some knowledge of how Python works.
• Part 3: References guides contain key concepts, man page, configurations and other aspects of Pyarmor machinery.
• Part 4: Topics guides insight into key topics and provide useful background information and explanation. They describe how it works and how to use it but assume that you have a basic understanding of key concepts.
• Part 5: Licenses describes EULA of Pyarmor, the different Pyarmor licenses and how to purchase Pyarmor license.
