Python Upgrade Coming Soon
Hi everyone, I want to give you a heads up that in an upcoming release, we will be upgrading the version of Python used by the game. We currently use Python 3.3.5 and will be moving to Python 3.7....

@fogity That "fix" you are thinking of back then for unpyc3 was iirc a pretty simple one, just ignored an error by trapping the exception and moving on as best it could. Produced some gibberish, but hey that's life.
The complex fixes were, as Turbo mentions above, done by someone outside TS4 modding community.
Andrew and I have both tried some similar hacks in the same vein without any really notable results.
I'm going to run everything through decompilation tomorrow and summarize exactly what results we end up with and provide those to SGMS. Andrew and I were just chatting with them on Discord, I won't post the gist of the convo here as I don't want to put words in EA's mouth obviously. All I can say here is that releasing sources is unlikely (as we expected), but they seem committed to helping us work out issues with decompilation.
At a guess, I'd say roughly 75% of files seem to uncompile properly using uncompyle6, but those that fail are quite important ones as a general rule. Some that uncompile have some invalid syntax in them, particularly those with complex nested expressions. My tests I run will involve recompiling the uncompiled sources to check their validity.
Feel free to PM me on DP's Discord channel if you want some more unofficial info, I imagine SGMS will be posting here as well once anything is official.
@SimGuruModSquad - thanks a lot for chatting with us, it is good to know definitively that you will assist in-so-far as you are able to.
