Hi there
I was looking around a lot of resources and found an information that Photorec is an amazing tool for recovering missing .py files, but after running of PhotoRec I can find only .pyc extension, but no .py.
Do I need to configure PhotoRec or what is the expected behavior?
Thanks
Can't find .py extention in the list of available extensions

Python source files are text files with a .py extension.
As written previously, you need to have the txt and tx? file families enabled in File Options to recover them.
