Tool to extract and repack pyinstaller generated windows executables. Supports recent versions of pyinstaller. Python 3 only. Doesn't support encrypted PYZ archives.

pip install lxml
pip install lief

To extract a exe run

$ python pyinst-repacker.py extract test.exe

This will extract the exe under the directory test.exe-repacker.

To build exe from this directory run,

$ python pyinst-repacker.py build test.exe-repacker

Optionally use the --scanpy argument to use the corresponding .py file instead of .pyc (if it exists).

$ python pyinst-repacker.py build --scanpy test.exe-repacker

The --ignore-missing option can used during build to ignore any non-existent files. Useful when trying to rebuild after deleting some files.

Repacked exe will be written to test.exe-repacker\test-repacked.exe.
