I wanted to know that how much easy is to decompile python byte code. I have made an application in python whose source I want to be secure. I am using py2exe which basically relies on python compiled files.
Does that secure the code?

Depends on your definition of “fully” (in “fully decompile”)…;-). You won’t easily get back the original Python source — but getting the bytecode is easy, and standard library module dis exists exactly to make bytecode easily readable (though it’s still bytecode, not full Python source code;-).
