Pyarmor Versions Save

New Feature

• Option --pack support specfile. If plain script could be packed by one .spec file, it could be used by --pack to pack the obfuscated script. For example, pyarmor gen --pack foo.spec foo.py

Fix issues

• Fix pack issues with extra PyInstaller options
• Fix pack issue: some special binary extensions are missed in the final bundle
• Fix pack issue: in Windows case insensitive path does not work
• Fix issue #1758: --pack could not work with --enable-rft, --assert-import or assert-call
• Fix issue #1756: Match case which form is Class.Name wont work with --obf-code 2

Fix issues:

• Fix issue #1745: --pack with PyInstaller 6.6 raises exception

New feature:

• Support new configuration item runtime:patch_extension to enable/disable patching extension pyarmor_runtime, the main purpose is to solve code sign issue in Darwin
• Option --pack supports new value FC, DC to clean output path without prompt

Fix issues:

• Refine pack output log to make it clear

New feature:

Option --pack support constant onefile and onedir, both of them work for PyInstaller 6.0+

In previous versions --pack only accepts executable generated by PyInstaller < 6.0.

Since v8.5.4, it accepts string constant onefile or onefolder, support PyInstaller 6.0+ and previous versions too. User need not call PyInstaller, pyarmor will do everything. For example, obfuscate plain script main.py and pack the output to one executable just by this one command:

pyarmor gen --pack onefile main.py

Upgrade Notes:

The behaviour of option --private is changed

In previous versions the plain script could NOT import the module obfuscated by --private. Now the plain script could import this obfuscated module, but could not visit module attribute __dict__.

If still need keep old behaviours, run command pyarmor cfg private_module_as_restrict=1 once before generating the obfuscated scripts.

Fix issues:

• Fix issue #1712: Group license does't work in Windows.x86
