2.5. Protecting system packages

New in version 8.2.

When packing the scripts, Pyarmor could also protect system packages in the bundle. These are necessary options to prevent system packages from be replaced by plain scripts:

$ pyinstaller foo.py
$ pyarmor gen --assert-call --assert-import --restrict --pack dist/foo/foo foo.py

2.6. Fix encoding error

The default encoding is utf-8, if encoding error occurs when obfuscating the scripts, set encoding to right one. For example, change default encoding to gbk:

$ pyarmor cfg encoding=gbk

When customizing runtime error message, it also could specify encoding for messages.cfg. For example, set encoding to gbk by this command:

$ pyarmor cfg messages=messages.cfg:gbk

2.7. Removing docstring

It’s easy to remove docstring from obfuscated scripts:

$ pyarmor cfg optimize 2

The argument optimize specifies the optimization level of the compiler; the default value of -1 selects the optimization level of the interpreter as given by -O options. Explicit levels are 0 (no optimization; __debug__ is true), 1 (asserts are removed, __debug__ is false) or 2 (docstrings are removed too).
