Publishing a python app

Hey community,
I am making a python app which is related to YouTube and is only made using python.
I want to know how to publish it to Microsoft store, one more doubt is that if a user downloads it and changes it extension to .py then he can see the code of my app?

to publish an app in the microsoft store first you must compile your app to the form indicated by this store, after you compile your file will go from being a PY to be an executable, so what you mention to change the extension will not work.

what if there are programs to decompile and see the contents of the package, for that we would recommend the use of libraries for obfuscation as pyarmor.

I have used pyarmor for obfuscation and pyinstaller for packaging but I have never uploaded anything to the microsoft store but I am sure it should not be too complex.
