Creative... but of course it really wouldn't take much to decrypt that since your decryption key obviously has to be included in the .exe file.

I am assume that when python is compiled into a .exe file that it actually just puts its script parser in the exe file and attaches a copy of the PY source code into the exe file as some sort of string resource (or similar).

The real way to get around this is to write a PY compiler that instead of executing the PY code actually produces machine code... this would solve your problem, though I admit it probably is not an easy task... but hey if no one else has done it you could earn a bit of a reputation (even make a bit of money).
