Python 32 bit to 64 bit?

Question

I'm using a program designed in python from 2006... 2.4 to be exact. I keep running into memory errors with it and want to upgrade the thing to 64 bit; except that I have not touched python in almost 20 years. I have the library and the exe, and have determined the exe was created through py2exe. Is it possible to upgrade this to 2.7 64 bit without needing to rewrite the entire app ?

Answer 1

You may be able to decompile the code (see How to decompile an exe file compiled by py2exe? ), then recompile it with a current version of py2exe.

This is assuming you've lost the original source code--having that would make things easier.
