Convert PYC to PY

What is PYC file?

The .PYC file extension is a compiled file format used to store data and instructions specifically for the Python programming language. It is of the type compiled program code and is a compressed version of a .PY (Python Script File). The .PYC files are created when a user compiles a .PY file, which then results in the generation of the .PYC version. The .PYC files are important as they provide faster execution speeds compared to a standard .PY file. [ ⏩ ] PYC file extension

What is PY file?

The .PY is a file extension used by the Python programming language which is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language. It is designed to be highly readable, with its use of significant whitespace and indentation to delimit code blocks reducing the complexity otherwise found in many other languages. This interpreted language is used for developing web applications, desktop applications and other software components. The . [ ⏩ ] PY file extension

How to convert the file from PYC to PY?

To successfully convert the PYC file to PY, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.PYC). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PY (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PY).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. PYC to PY. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting PYC files to PY files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PY, while before this step we had the PYC file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PY file, or not.
