How to run an obfuscated function ?

[ericvergnaud]

I have a package secret, with the following __init__.py file:

def build_secret(args: list[str]) -> str:
    return "some_secret"

I then run pyarmor gen -O obfuscated src/secret .
Works fine, however, the generated __init__.py does not expose a build_secret function.
How can I call the obfuscated build_secret function that replaces the original one ?

You can't see it, but can use it as normal way

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by 'normal way' ?
Can you provide a link to a working example ?

[ericvergnaud]

@jondy sorry if this sounds pushy, but I'm still looking for a working example where I can call an obfuscated function and use its result. Any update ?

[ericvergnaud]

Ah, found a way:

import secret
obfuscated_build_secret: Callable[[list[str]], str] = getattr(secret, "build_secret", None)
secret = obfuscated_build_secret(["some", "secret", "sauce"])

Feel free to add this as an example :-)
