Python decompiler for Eclipse PyDev?

Question

Is there a way to get eclipse to read .pyc files?

I am trying to avoid downloading an external program, and I would prefer not to trust the online service.

Answer 1

There is no open-source / free decompiler for Python - just a “disassembler” (see dis-module in stdlib). Returning from the Python Stack-VM assembly (which is stored in .pyc files) to Python working code is basically simple, since the general structure of the code is preserved even when using -O.
