My apologies: I sent that link without completely reading the page -- I know 
the name "decompyle" from a tool that I've used in the past and just assumed 
that page had a download link somewhere.

It looks like the author of the decompyle software is now providing the 
decompilation as a business. My quick Googling doesn't show up any 
downloadable source though, which is a shame. It is packaged for Debian Linux 
though :)
