How to create a toolbox hiding the python script

[GABRIELALEJANDROMESASALAMANCA]

I've created a couple of scripts I use in some toolboxes to expedite some processes in my company, whoever I would like to keep the actual source code to the scripts hidden while sharing the toolboxes so that they can be used by other coworkers? Thanks in advanced for you help

It's possible to embed and password protect the script within the toolbox, exposing the parameters through the tool interface.

Anyone capable enough of cracking this is probably capable enough of composing a python script in the first instance...

Works good enough for me, also still usable for arcmap which is important for me since most of my peers haven't moved to PRO, thank you

scripts can also be encripted as in the case of *.pyt toolboxes
