I may be misremembering but I though that pyinstaller actually stores
the main script uncompressed so that it's just in the raw .exe. In
which case you just need to find the start and stop bytes of the
script. If there are other packages etc. then I'm not sure how to do
that but they are in some sense stored as a compressed archive inside
the .exe file.
