# Py2ExeDecompiler

> Py2ExeDecompiler recovers source from executables built with py2exe. It extracts .pyc files from the executable resources and decompiles them with uncompyle6. The reviewed page covers Python 2.7 through 3.5. Python 3.6 only shows disassembly. The program is a .NET Framework 4.5.2 application. Drag an exe onto Py2ExeDecompiler.exe, or open it from the window.
