How to convert a created EXE file back to Python?

Question

How do I convert a EXE file created with PyInstaller back to a .py file?

I already tried python-exe-unpack-master, but that didn't work. Further I've seen this article: How do you reverse engineer an EXE "compiled" with PyInstaller but I don't know how to extract the EXE's append data.

Is there a other way? Or can someone explain me more about the method I gave.

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

python pyinstxtractor.py executable.exe

You will get your python file.

Its not recognized. Do I need to install Pyinstyaller extractor appart from Pyinstaller, or Is there A certain directory where I need to be, or did you just misspell it? – S. Known Jul 11 '18 at 07:05
