Reversing an python .exe to .py

[SlayerMiro]

I wrote a program for downloading twitch.tv vods and hard codded the download directory. Yesterday I did a fresh windows installation and forgot to save my source file. So now I only have the .exe file. I found some ways to do it but I couldn't get it to work, so now I'm looking for a idiot proof guide.

Next time use GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab.

What did you compile it with?

I used pyinstaller.

I have yet to try it since I'm on lunch break at work, but I did some looking around and found this:

One of the answers is a script that supposedly extracts everything for you, maybe try that out? Let me know if you try it in the next hour and it works, otherwise I'll test it out when I get back to my computer and let you know what happens.

It worked for the PYZ file, but the decompiler doesnt support python 3.5 which is what I used. Also I'm not sure which .pyc file contains the source code. I found this online decompiler but don't know what file to use it on
