Don't panic—this is normal. The recovered code is functionally equivalent to your original. With some manual refactoring to rename variables and add comments where needed, you'll have a fully working and maintainable codebase.
The most reliable tool for extracting PyInstaller-created executables is (pyinstextractor). convert exe to py
It's important to understand what this process accomplish: Don't panic—this is normal
Use Cython to convert your sensitive core modules into C code, which compiles into native binary files ( .pyd or .so ). These are drastically harder to decompile than standard Python bytecode. convert exe to py
Remember the key two-step formula:
Obfuscate your scripts with PyArmor before running PyInstaller. This encrypts the bytecode and obfuscates runtime structures.
