Question cleared:Another option that we've used in the past was to write the "sensitive"

bits in Pyrex/Cython. These get compiled to executable code (a .pyd/DLL
on Windows, .so on Unix-like systems). They are tied to the (major)
version of Python of course.
You can of course write the entire program like this, then either use
py2exe to give a stub .exe, or just use python -m. Chances are pretty
good that you will only need minimal changes to your python code to make
it work.
As a side benefit, some things get a speedup ;)
