Hello and welcome,

Python is an interpreted language, so you don't compile your Python program. To run your plugin simply copy your project folder into the "plugins" folder of your Cinema 4D installation and run Cinema 4D. Open the "Script" → "Console" window to see if any problems are detected while loading your plugin.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hello,

if you want to protect your source code you can encrypt it using the "Script" → "Source Protector" tool. Please keep in mind that this encryption cannot guarantee 100% security.

Best wishes,
