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

Python files shuld be recovered by .txt and .tx? file families

I'm going to recover original Python files with .py extension, but using PhotoRec I can check extension for Python binaries(.pyc).

fidentify told me that .py extension is known for it, but how to restore files with this extension via PhotoRec I can't find...

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.
