It looks like the author of the decompyle software is now providing the decompilation as a business. My quick Googling doesn't show up any downloadable source though, which is a shame. It is packaged for Debian Linux though :) Richard

If it's what I think it is, it should be preinstalled. Is it a Linux thing? Mac seems to go with bootleg/bootcamp. Ian It's an open source Linux (don't know about other Unixen) software that allows you to run Windows programs under Linux just like they were native Linux executables. It translates DLL calls to Linux calls, so the process is almost entirely transparent. You don't even need to have a Windows copy around. The software you want to run just thinks it's on Windows... but it's not. Look at http://www.winehq.org Of course to have a 1:1 Windows-Linux compatibility layer (done by *reverse engineering* Windows libraries) it's a gigantic feat, and many applications still do not work properly. But there is already a lot of applications that work nicely or at least are usable. Some versions of MS Office, Photoshop, etc. I use it in my laboratory to run EndNote 9 natively under Kubuntu. A lifesaver. Here is a compatibility database. Excellent startpoint, but Wine is under heavy and fast development... ;) http://appdb.winehq.org/ m.

Not really solid enough to be preinstalled on MacOS. [1] Some people will try to tell you it stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, but that's poppycock. It *is* an emulator, just not a *hardware* emulator. -- Greg
[pygame] Reverse Compiling
Hi, I was backing up my files onto a CD when I ironically deleted an original .py file for a module leaving the .pyc version. My question here, is can you reverse compile it? I want to make some changes. Thanks, Ian

My question here, is can you reverse compile it? I want to make some changes. You can, but I hear it doesn't produce very manageable code. What was the file you deleted? -Luke
