Need help: 'encrypting' a .exe

[MarkW7]

Hey!

I am interested in learning a coding language and after much searching i have chosen python.

And know some basics, i want to make a simple .exe passworded it doesn't have to encrypt it as such - just so it prompts for a passphrase when you try to open it. (No one will try to brute force / crack the file).

It's just to encrypt my game file (the .exe shortcut) so people don't play it

Any ideas? How hard this would be.

These pictures may help me explain;

To be honest I have no idea how this can be done using python, but you can find some information on python encryption here and some documentation of computer management based commands can be found here. Also, if building a GUI is a must for you, be sure to read this
