PyPI vs. Python vs. QShield vs. scikit-image Comparison Chart

PyPI is the official repository for Python software packages, hosting hundreds of thousands of projects that developers can publish and users can discover and install. It supports both source distributions (“sdists”) and pre-built binary “wheels”, allowing packages to include native extensions for different platforms. Projects on PyPI consist of multiple releases, each of which can include various files for different operating systems or Python versions. Metadata for each package includes things like version number, dependencies, licensing, classifiers, description (including rendering Markdown or reStructuredText), and other information that tools like pip use to resolve, download, and install the correct package. PyPI provides search and filtering based on package metadata, letting users find what they need via keywords, compatibility, or other package attributes.

Obfuscate your highly valuable source code and protect your sensitive assets thanks to QShield compiler-obfuscator. Protect your applications against static and dynamic analysis. Software running on untrusted environments is at risk of reverse-engineering, an application running on a device that is available to an attacker is vulnerable to a wide range of techniques used to try and extract secrets, and intellectual property. To prevent unauthorized parties from gaining insight, tampering with or even recovering the source code from the binary, software protection mechanisms must be implemented to preserve revenues and intellectual property. 30+ obfuscation schemes are available. Granular control of the protection profile thanks to a file-based policy or comments throughout the code. Build diversification, each compiled application is different with a user-controlled randomness seed. Integrity checks and detection of debuggers, emulators, and hooking frameworks.
