Research direction

Start with the decompyle3/bin/decompile.py entry point and reproduce the parse error using the attached logh_utils.pyc file and the Python 3.10.2 environment described. Compare the failing output with the included uncompyle6 output; done means decompyle3 successfully decompiles this source instead of stopping at the parse error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Description

Decompyle3 failed at decompiling some code, where uncompyle6 was successful.

That's too bad because the generated code is of higher quality.

How to Reproduce

See attached sources:
logh_utils.zip

I included the pyc file, the uncompyle3 output, the decompyle6 output.

(.env) C:\work\logh_home\log_enhancer.exe_extracted>python ..\python-decompile3\decompyle3\bin\decompile.py C:\work\logh_home\log_enhancer.exe_extracted\src\logh_utils.pyc  1>C:\work\logh_home\log_enhancer.exe_extracted\src\logh_utils.py

# file C:\work\logh_home\log_enhancer.exe_extracted\src\logh_utils.pyc
# Deparsing stopped due to parse error
