Decompiling Python .pyc Files

Have you accidentally deleted an important Python source file or are looking to inspect the contents of a .pyc file that has been provided to you? Luckily .pyc files contain enough information to reproduce the corresponding .py file. NB: this only applies to Python2. You won’t get the original comments or the original formatting, and there may be a few tweaks you need to do for the new .py file to be completely valid–but this can be a savior for some unexpected loss of source files if the .pyc files still exist.
