Possible to do this with ruby and python?

Is it possible to do these with python or ruby?
1. Pack files into 1 file and read them from another script.
2. Source-Hiding
In case you didnt know what I meant by source hiding, its like BattleField 1942's .rfa files... when you open them in notepad they are all scrambled, possible to do in Ruby or Python?
And if so, how?

Your first question is a bit ambiguous. Python can read zip files and perform basic file operations. Therefore what you want to do is possible, but how difficult it is will depend on exactly what you want.
For the second question, compiling Python files into .pyc makes them impractical to read, although they can be decompiled.

Neither community is actually really interested in having code obfuscators

Im not either right now, if I make a selling game with python/ruby, I can always have a software license...

For obfuscation, Python sources are public, so it's easy to change extension, and to change part of the language just to unable decompilation.
A real protection, whatever the language is impossible...
