pyarmor VS packaging

Either look at Cython, or try obfuscating the code then using pyinstaller to create an executable.

There are few vendors that provide commercial python obfuscation/DRM (though see pyarmor)

You can obfuscate) your code with pyarmor.

You might need to obfuscate your code. Refer this https://pyarmor.dashingsoft.com/

the code is not encrypted, very easy to decode if you know the python language :) If you are looking for an up to date obfuscate, you can look at pyarmor. https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor

> You can't use wheels

musl wheel support was added some time ago:

No idea how many packages actually build musl wheels though. From a quick glance at least cryptography and lxml has musl wheels.

Python supports Alpine just fine; indeed, the standard Docker Python images include Alpine variants.

If you mean binary wheels, PyPA packaging added support for Alpine wheels a few months ago (https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/411), and auditwheel support for the same just shipped today.

You can use the packaging module to compare versions. It's used by setuptools so you probably have it already installed. The the rest is pretty straightforward imho:
