Hello all:
I have been considering writing a couple of programs in Python, but I 
don't want to distribute the code along with them. So I'm curious of a 
couple things.
First, does there exist a cross-platform library for playing audio 
files, whose license I would not be violating if I do this?
Second, would I be violating the twisted, wxpython licenses by doing this?
Finally, is there a good way to accomplish this? I know that I can make 
.pyc files, but those can be disassembled very very easily with the 
disassembler and shipping these still means that the person needs the 
modules that are used. Is there another way to go about this?

Take care,
