I remember that back in the day, I've hit a #Python package that would attempt to be closed-source by shipping only a .pyc file… for Python 2.5. As you can imagine, this didn't work out — though it was a bit of a hassle to get a working decompiler back then (we didn't have a Python version older than 2.7.x in #Gentoo at the time). However, I don't really remember what it was and how it worked out in the end.
