Can't be done. The script obviously has to be readable for the user's computer to run it.

and Uneditable

Again, impossible. If the script lives on someone else's computer, they have permission to do anything they want.

The closest thing you can do is to distribute your script as a .pyc instead of a .py file. But even then, a knowledgeable user will be able to decode it.

It sounds like you might not want to distribute a script at all, but maintain a back-end API instead. This way the user never has access to your code in the first place.
