PyArmor

Some developers use tools like to obfuscate the bytecode before freezing it into an .exe . This renames variables, scrambles control flow, and inserts dead code. uncompyle6 works for Python 2

File Identification

: If you aren't sure if the .exe was made with Python, use Detect It Easy (DIE) to check for signatures like "zlib archive" or "PyInstaller".
