pyc2py

[Thomas Guetttler]

Hi!

Is there a script which converts compiled python code
to human readable code?

Google found no result for "pyc2py".

Try this keyword: decompyle

Pirate ?

Pardon? There are lots of legitimate reasons for reverse-engineering.

Hmmm... does this mean that any Python compiled can be decompiled? What if
someone was selling compiled Python programs. decompyle seems to be able
to decompile them.

Is there a way to make sure that compiled python code cannot be decompiled?

Yes ! It's only a question.

Or perhaps:

- project delivered to customer.
- Fatal harddisk crash
- Faulty backup.
- Customer requesting changes to project.


Or perhaps while preparing to distribute a project, a slip of the
fingers make:

rm -r *.py

instead of

rm -r *.pyc


I don't think that those are unusual scenarios?

It depends on your business model if this is a problem or not. Looks
like, for most people, it's not. I believe that apart from Python, even
in Windows-land, this is much less of a problem than people would think.

Ask groups.google.com. This has been discussed many times.
