Missing encrypted files after successful extract #58

Closed UltraV8 closed 1 year ago

UltraV8 commented 2 years ago

I’m trying to extract a PYZ that I know it should contains *.pyc.encrypted files. The extraction finished without any errors but those files are missing, what could be the reason for that?

There should be a pyz file within the extracted directory. What's the size of that file?

UltraV8 commented 2 years ago

It’s about 12M

Please make sure you're using the same version of Python as the one used to build the executable. Running pyinstxtractor in a different version of Python would skip pyz extraction.

Alternatively try pyinstxtractor-ng: https://github.com/pyinstxtractor/pyinstxtractor-ng It's a standalone tool and doesn't require even a Python installation.

Thanks for the reply, I verified that they are both the same version -3.8, and tried the portable version but got the same results. Could it be that these modules are loaded only at runtime and they can’t be extracted statically?

Loading at runtime doesn't matter. If the pyz is there it should be extracted, unless its using a custom pyinstaller bootloader.
