The Python Compilation page will be opened if at least one Python script was selected for when you added your Add-in assets.

Compilation will be performed by all available Python interpreters. The list of available and used interpreters can be edited in the Add-in Manager Settings window. The compilation process itself requires no user intervention, and the page displays a detailed compilation log to catch potential problems.

Important: By compiling your scripts, you can easily obfuscate the source code of your application. However, if you are concerned about properly protecting your intellectual property, you should explore using other compilation methods such as Cython to create pyd or executable files from Python scripts. You can also use custom executable files as actions.
