How to decompile python 2.4 bytecode?

Question

I need a good decompiler that can decompile python 2.4 byte code. I have looked over the internet and can only find python 2.5+

There are about a few hundred .pycs, so if it can decompile a directory it would be nice.

Note: Easy Python Decompiler is not what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

You just need to search online. Anyways here are some python 2.4 decompilers worth trying,

• decompyle - http://murphey.org/code/decompyle-2.4.tgz
• pycdc - https://github.com/zrax/pycdc
• depython - http://depython.com/
• decompyle service - http://www.crazy-compilers.com/decompyle/
• Python-Decompiler - https://gitorious.org/python-decompiler

_{Note : Easy Python Decompiler (written by me) uses pycdc as the backend.}

Answer 2

There is a perfect open-source Python (.PYC) decompiler, called Decompyle++ https://github.com/zrax/pycdc/

Decompyle++ aims to translate compiled Python byte-code back into valid and human-readable Python source code. While other projects have achieved this with varied success, Decompyle++ is unique in that it seeks to support byte-code from any version of Python.
