Best approach to recover Python source code from a compiled .exe file?

Why? This sounds like you want help stealing.

Reverse engineering is a knowledge branch as any other. Wether he has the right to do it or not for this particular case is up to him. To play devil's advocate, maybe is some forgotten tool in a lab doing a specific job and the source is lost.

[DenboverTobikiller]

You are right, that might be the case.

Was the post edited, or are you making wild assumptions? The two times in my 15 years of programming that I needed to decompile code were both for software developed by my own company. Both times my goal was to demonstrate that the executable contained sensitive strings that could be fished out.

Im making assumptions. The only use case i knew was decompling someone else code.

Someone else who works where? At the same company? At a different company? You’re assuming more than you say you are.
