# PyInstaller Extractor
PyInstaller Extractor is a Python script to extract the contents of a PyInstaller generated Windows executable file. The contents of the pyz file (usually pyc files) present inside the executable are also extracted.
The header of the pyc files are automatically fixed so that a Python bytecode decompiler will recognize it. The script can run on both Python 2.x and 3.x. Pyinstaller versions 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 are tested & supported. Probably will work with other versions too.
This project was originally hosted on [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyinstallerextractor/).
## How to install
``` sudo snap install pyinstxtractor ```
## How to use
The script can be run by passing the name of the exe as an argument.
``` $ pyinstxtractor <filename> ```
It is recommended to run the script in the same version of Python which was used to generate the executable. This is to prevent unmarshalling errors(if any) while extracting the PYZ archive.
## Example
``` $ pyinstxtractor test.exe [+] Processing dist\test.exe [+] Pyinstaller version: 2.1+ [+] Python version: 36 [+] Length of package: 5612452 bytes [+] Found 59 files in CArchive [+] Beginning extraction...please standby [+] Possible entry point: pyiboot01_bootstrap.pyc [+] Possible entry point: test.pyc [+] Found 133 files in PYZ archive [+] Successfully extracted pyinstaller archive: dist\test.exe
You can now use a python decompiler on the pyc files within the extracted directory ```
After extracting the pyc's you can use a Python decompiler like [Uncompyle6](https://github.com/rocky/python-uncompyle6/) or [pycdc](https://snapcraft.io/pycdc).
## Extracting Linux ELF binaries
Pyinstxtractor can also extract Linux ELF binaries. Please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/extremecoders-re/pyinstxtractor/wiki/Extracting-Linux-ELF-binaries) for more information.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install pyinstxtractor, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install pyinstxtractor
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
