The fact is that storing the files in a ZIP-file is not going to make
it any more difficult to reach the pyc-files. And then you can quite
easily decompile them into python code. The value of your application
very rarely lies in the procedures. And copying your code is illegal
anyway, so people can't do that.

Anyway, it has in another discussion here been decided that supporting
pyc-file only distributions with Grok isn't likely to be supported.
Grok will (if it doens't already) only grok py-files, to avoid stale
pyc-files polluting the system.
