PowerBuilder-decompile

Python module that parse power builder file (PBD) and analyze code (Incomplete) this tool is composed of:

pbd_dump.py this tool extract files from pbd file and save it to folder named
analyse_folder.py after extract pbd into folder you can use this tool to decompile supported files (“win”, “fun”, “udo”)
analyse.py this tool is used to decompile one file with extension (“win”, “fun”, “udo”) by create a folder with name of the file and put inside it the code in hierarchical
all the above steps is done in one step using python file pbd_analyse.py

please note:

the work still incomplete
I test against PB version 6
the code result from decompilation is not related to any known programming language. I just make it as simple and descriptive as possible
I will be happy if someone want to share or modify the code
