Exe to python with pyinstaller?

Question

So I made a huge mistake and deleted my code file (python). The only thing I have is my python file as .exe that I created with pyinstaller. Is there a way to reverse this and to extract my code file from .exe?

Answer 1

You can extract the contents of the .exe file using PyInstaller Extractor. Run it like this:

python pyinstxtractor.py executable.exe

You will then get a bunch of files, including your original python file.
