The retdec.com decompilation service is to be disabled (see the official announcement). This will render the library and tools in the present repository non-functional. I will keep the repository online in case it is helpful to anyone.

A Python library and tools providing easy access to the retdec.com decompilation service through their public REST API.

You can either incorporate the library in your own scripts:

from retdec.decompiler import Decompiler

decompiler = Decompiler(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY')
decompilation = decompiler.start_decompilation(input_file='file.exe')
decompilation.wait_until_finished()
decompilation.save_hll_code()

or you can use the provided script for stand-alone decompilations:

$ decompiler -k YOUR-API-KEY file.exe
v23bmYb67R

Downloading:
 - file.c

Either way, file.c then contains the decompiled C code:

$ cat file.c
//
// This file was generated by the Retargetable Decompiler

//

#include <stdio.h>

The library provides support for the decompilation, fileinfo, and test services. For a more detailed list, see the status page in the documentation.

• Python >= 3.4 (CPython or PyPy)
• requests module for making HTTPS calls to the retdec.com API

The recommended way of installing is from Python Package Index (PyPI) with pip:

$ pip install retdec-python

This will install the latest stable version, including all dependencies. You can also install the latest development version directly from GitHub:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/s3rvac/retdec-python

The documentation is available on readthedocs.io:

• latest (master)
• stable (0.5.2)

I will be very glad to get your feedback, pull requests, issues, or just a simple Thanks. Feel free to contact me for any questions you might have!
