📄 Description

What is this Python project?

uncompyle6 translates Python bytecode back into equivalent Python source code. It accepts bytecodes from Python version 2.1 to 3.6 or so, including PyPy bytecode and Dropbox’s Python 2.5 bytecode.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

There were a number of decompyle, uncompile, uncompyle2, uncompyle3 forks around. All of them came basically from the same code base, and almost all of them no were no longer actively maintained. Only one handled Python 3, and even there, only 3.2 or 3.3 depending on which code is used. This code pulls these together and moves forward. It also addresses a number of open issues in the previous forks.

What makes this different from other CPython bytecode decompilers?: its ability to deparse just fragments and give source-code information around a given bytecode offset.

I use this to deparse fragments of code inside my trepan debuggers. For that, I need to record text fragments for all bytecode offsets (of interest). This purpose although largely compatible with the original intention is yet a little bit different.
