3.3.3 2019-05-19 Henry and Lewis

As before, decomplation bugs fixed. The focus has primarily been on Python 3.7. But with this release, releases will be put on hold,as a better control-flow detection is worked on . Tis has been needed for a while, and is long overdue. It will probably also take a while to get done as good as what we have now.

However this work will be done in a new project decompyle3. In contrast to uncompyle6 the code wil be written assuming a modern Python 3, e.g. 3.7. It is originally intended to decompile Python version 3.7 and greater.

• A number of Python 3.7+ chained comparisons were fixed
• Revise Python 3.6ish format string handling
• Go over operator precedence, e.g. for AST IfExp

Reported Bug Fixes

• #239: 3.7 handling of 4-level attribute import,
• #229: Inconsistent if block in python3.6,
• #227: Args not appearing in decompiled src when kwargs is specified explicitly (call_ex_kw) 2.7 confusion around "and" versus comprehension "if"
• #225: 2.7 confusion around "and" vs comprehension "if"

3.3.2 2019-05-03 Better Friday

As before, lots of decomplation bugs fixed. The focus has primarily been on Python 3.6. We can now parse the entire 3.6.8 Python library and verify that without an error. The same is true for 3.5.8. A number of the bugs fixed though are not contained to these versions. In fact some span back as far as 2.x

But as before, many more remain in the 3.7 and 3.8 range which will get addressed in future releases

Pypy 3.6 support was started. Pypy 3.x detection fixed (via xdis)

3.3.1 2019-04-19 Good Friday

• expand testing

3.1.1 2018-04-01 Easter April Fool's

Jesus on Friday's New York Times puzzle: "I'm stuck on 2A"

• fill out 3.5+ BUILD_MAP_UNPACK (more work is needed)
• fill out 3.4+ CALL_FUNCTION_... (more work is needed)
• fill out 3.5 MAKE_FUNCTION (more work is needed)
• reduce 3.5, 3.6 control-flow bugs
• reduce ambiguity in rules that lead to long (exponential?) parses
• limit/isolate some 2.6/2.7,3.x grammar rules
• more runtime testing of decompiled code
• more removal of parenthesis around calls via setting precidence

3.1.0 2018-03-21 Equinox

• Add code_deparse_with_offset() fragment function.
• Correct paramenter call fragment deparse_code()
• Lots of 3.6, 3.x, and 2.7 bug fixes About 5% of 3.6 fail parsing now. But semantics still needs much to be desired.

3.0.1 2018-02-17

• All Python 2.6.9 standard library files weakly verify
• Many 3.6 fixes. 84% of the first 200 standard library files weakly compile. One more big push is needed to get the remaining to compile
• Many decompilation fixes for other Python versions
• Add more to the test framework
• And more add tests target previous existing bugs more completely
• sync recent license changes in metadata

3.0.0 2018-02-17

• deparse_code() and lookalikes from the various semantic actions are now deprecated. Instead use new API code_deparse() which makes the version optional and bundles debug options into a dictionary.
• License changed to GPL3.
• Many Python 3.6 fixes, especially around handling EXTENDED_ARGS Due to the reduction in operand size for JUMP's there are many more EXTENDED_ARGS instructions which can be the targets of jumps, and messes up the peephole-like analysis that is done for control flow since we don't have something better in place.
• Code has been reorganized to be more instruction nametuple based where it has been more bytecode array based. There was and still is code that had had magic numbers to advance instructions or to pick out operands.
• Bug fixes in numerous other Python versions
• Instruction display improved
• Keep global statements in fixed order (from wangym5106)

A bit more work is still needed for 3.6 especially in the area of function calls and definitions.

2.16.0 2018-02-17

• API additions:
  • add fragments.op_at_code_loc() and
  • fragments.deparsed_find()_

2.13.3 2017-11-13

Overall: better 3.6 decompiling and some much needed code refactoring and cleanup

• Start noting names in for template-action names; these are used to check/assert we have the right node type
• Simplify <import_from> rule
• Pypy 5.80-beta testing tolerance
• Start to clean up instruction mangling phase by using 3.6-style instructions rather trying to parse the bytecode array. This largely been done in for versions 3.x; 3.0 custom mangling code has been reduced; some 2.x conversion has been done, but more is desired. This make it possible to...
• Handle EXTENDED_ARGS better. While relevant to all Python versions it is most noticeable in version 3.6+ where in switching to wordcodes the size of operands has been reduced from 216 to 28. JUMP instruction then often need EXTENDED_ARGS.
• Refactor find_jump_targets() with via working of of instructions rather the bytecode array.
• use --weak-verify more and additional fuzzing on verify()
• fragment parser now ignores errors in nested function definitions; an parameter was added to assist here. Ignoring errors may be okay because the fragment parser often just needs, well, fragments.
• Distinguish RETURN_VALUE from RETURN_END_IF in exception bodies better in 3.6
• bug in 3.x language changes: import queue via import Queue
• reinstate some bytecode tests since decompiling has gotten better
• Revise how to report a bug
