Version 0.1 released!

On this great winter day, pyfuscator 0.1 has been released. For now, it will be available only in two flavours: the source code and the Windows x86 executable (built with py2exe for python 2.6). 

What's next? According to our roadmap, version 0.2 will mainly be a bugfix release with some minor improvements. It's hard to say now when it will be available (it really depends on the feedback), but we'll try to roll it out anyway somewhere in Spring 2011. 

In parallel with stabilization, we're starting on the version 0.3 which is going to deliver python 2.7 and 3.x support as well as capability of handling multifile projects.

Now go check us out on the downloads page and, yes, enjoy your holidays!

We ARE close to the 0.1 release

Now that all internal tests are passing successfully, we anicipate releasing pyfuscator 0.1 in one week term, right at Christmas. Stay tuned!

Tests stats

We have 52 unit-tests now which cover as much as 89% of the code (not counting the tests themselves). The test-to-production code ratio is 1.121 KLOC / 1.533 KLOC = 73% or a share of 42%.

I made the script for counting LOCs available here: link, enjoy!

Development mode: relaxed

Sorry folks, due to technical complications, release 0.1 isn't gonna happen in October. More realistically, it would be November or December, definitely this year.

Multi-line strings

I've just realized that multi-line spanning string literals which give me so much pain could be collapsed to single-line literals for the sake of obfusation! Yes, replacing carriage returns with \n's will result in adding one extra  byte per line but, honestly, who cares about this novadays?

"""I hate you 

multi-line string literal guys.

Prepare to die."""
