The beta version (2.2beta) on that website seems to work for my Python 2.2
.pyc files. I haven't tested it extensively, but the results looked very
usable. Of course you will never get your source-code comments back, but
that is just a small detail compared to rewriting the whole source code :)

Good luck,
Sander.
