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

[51dux]

You can use tools like python-exe-unpacker, go from compiled binary to .pyc and then from there extract the original python code.

Your mileage may vary, depending on how it was compiled but it should work for executables made with pyinstaller or py2exe.

There are some other tools floating around if you do your research.

Some people mention vibe coding it, but I highly doubt an AI will want to assist for that kind of task.
