๐Ÿ”’ Source Code Protector

Ship your Odoo addons. Keep your source code yours.

Protect and compile your business logic to native binaries in one click โ€” no command line, no DevOps required.

The Problem

Every time you deliver a module, your .py source code goes with it. Clients, competitors, and resellers can read, copy, modify, and resell your work โ€” without your permission and without paying you. Years of investment in your business logic, exposed in plain text.

The Solution

๐Ÿ”’
Protect Logic

Method bodies are extracted from your source files and moved into a hidden package โ€” invisible to your clients.

โš™๏ธ
Compile to Binary

The extracted logic is compiled to native .so/.pyd binaries โ€” dramatically harder to reverse-engineer than Python bytecode.

๐Ÿ“ฆ
Drop-In Replacement

The protected module has the exact same structure and installs/upgrades on Odoo exactly like the original โ€” zero changes required.

How It Works โ€” 3 Simple Steps

1
Open the Wizard

Go to Settings โ†’ Source Code Protector (last item in the Settings menu).

2
Upload Your Zip

Upload a .zip containing one or more Odoo modules. Optionally enter a zip password. Click Protect.

3
Download & Deploy

Download the *_compile.zip โ€” same structure, compiled binaries inside. Ready to ship to your client.

Key Features

๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ
One-Click UI

No terminal, no scripts. Entire workflow runs inside Odoo's Settings menu.

๐Ÿ“‚
Multi-Module Zip

One zip can contain many modules. All are detected and processed in a single run.

๐Ÿ”
Auto-Detect Manifest

Manifest at zip root or in a subfolder โ€” both layouts detected automatically.

๐Ÿ”‘
AES Zip Password

Input can be AES-encrypted; output is re-encrypted with the same password.

๐Ÿ“‹
Per-Module Report

Result table lists each module: Protected / Skipped, method count, compiled count.

๐Ÿงน
Auto Cleanup

Temp files deleted immediately after each run. Autovacuum cleans orphaned dirs older than 24 h.

๐Ÿ 
Runs On Your Server

No external service, no API calls. Your source code never leaves your instance.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ
Exact Structure

Output zip mirrors input 1:1 โ€” only business logic inside modules is replaced.

What Gets Protected

Item Action Reason
Regular instance methodsโœ” Protected & compiledCore business logic
async def methodsโœ” Protected & compiledAsync-safe delegation
@property getters/settersLeft unchangedDelegation changes semantics
@staticmethod, @classmethodLeft unchangedDifferent call semantics
Dunder methods (__init__, __str__โ€ฆ)Left unchangedCalled by Odoo/Python internals
Generator methods (yield)Left unchangedExtracting a generator body breaks iterator protocol
__init__.py, migrations/, controllers/Left unchangedOdoo needs these untouched to load the module

Platform Compatibility

โš  Compiled binaries are platform-locked.
A .so/.pyd file only runs on the exact Python version + OS + CPU architecture it was compiled on. Compile on a machine that matches your Odoo server. Always test on a staging database before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my module still install and upgrade normally?

Yes. The protected module preserves the complete class structure โ€” all fields, decorators, and _name/_inherit are untouched. Odoo registers the model exactly as before. Clients will never notice the difference at runtime.

Can clients decompile the binary?

Native binaries are dramatically harder to reverse-engineer than Python bytecode (.pyc). Decompiling requires significant expertise and effort โ€” a strong practical deterrent for most addons theft scenarios.

Can I protect multiple modules at once?

Yes. Upload a zip with any number of modules. The tool auto-detects all module roots, protects each independently, and returns one output zip with the same structure โ€” all modules included, protected ones swapped in-place.

Does zip password protection work?

Yes. Enter a password in the wizard โ€” the tool decrypts the input zip and re-encrypts the output zip with the same password using AES-256.

What needs to be installed on the Odoo server?

Two packages: jprotect and pyzipper. Run pip install jprotect pyzipper. Odoo will display a clear error if either is missing.

Is my source code sent to any external service?

No. Everything runs locally on your Odoo server. No data leaves your instance.
