This project is a customized fork of Decompyle++. It works identically to the original, except for the following changes:

• This fork supports recursion depth limiting during both loading and rendering data. This prevents it from entering an infinite loop and eventually exhausting available memory.
• This fork only warns on an invalid Python version, but still tries to decompile it.

By default, the modified Decompyle++ limits recursion to a depth of 100, which should hopefully be more than enough for most real code. You can specify a different value by using the -m <DEPTH> command-line option, e.g. -m 10 or -m 1000.

See the original project for more complete documentation of the overall functionality.

Quick build instructions for Linux, assuming your are in the pycdc directory:

% mkdir ../build

% cmake -S . -B ../build

% cd ../build

% make

Original build instructions:

• Generate a project or makefile with CMake (See CMake's documentation for details)

  • The following options can be passed to CMake to control debug features:

    Option	Description
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug	Produce debugging symbols
    -DENABLE_BLOCK_DEBUG=ON	Enable block debugging output
    -DENABLE_STACK_DEBUG=ON	Enable stack debugging output

• Build the generated project or makefile

  • For projects (e.g. MSVC), open the generated project file and build it
  • For makefiles, just run make
  • To run tests (on *nix or MSYS), run make check

To run pycdas, the PYC Disassembler: ./pycdas [PATH TO PYC FILE] The byte-code disassembly is printed to stdout.

To run pycdc, the PYC Decompiler: ./pycdc [PATH TO PYC FILE] The decompiled Python source is printed to stdout. Any errors are printed to stderr.

Marshalled code objects: Both tools support Python marshalled code objects, as output from marshal.dumps(compile(...)).

To use this feature, specify -c -v <version> on the command line - the version must be specified as the objects themselves do not contain version metadata.

Decompyle++ is the work of Michael Hansen and Darryl Pogue.
