How to verify pyarmor_protect(plain_code) from obf_foo.py & runtime file?

[toilaluan]

I have a simple Python file (foo.py) with this content:

a = "this is pyarmor. dont share anyone"

My friend offered to protect it using PyArmor. They returned:

• obf_foo.py (obfuscated file)
• pyarmor_runtime_00000.so (runtime library)

Question: How can I independently verify that these files were properly protected with PyArmor? I understand PyArmor uses a timestamp-based seed for protection.

I'd like to learn:

1. What steps I should take to verify the protection
2. What key indicators show proper PyArmor obfuscation
3. If timestamp-based seeds affect verification
