If you find a program that de-compiles exe to python, it will most 
likely use very ugly, c-like python because a microchip is no python 
interpreter. This is based on the assumption that py2exe really 
generates a pure exe and not an exe that interprets bytecode python.
be that the case, it may yield decent results, but ugly nontheless.

It might better to re-write it...
