How recursively call a command on linux shell

I would like to run a command(pycdc) on each files of all sub-folders

#!/bin/sh
uncompyle () {
pycdc "$1" >"$1"_dec
}
export -f uncompyle

find . -type f -name '*.pyc' -exec bash -c 'uncompyle "$0"' {} \;

But i got the error: 

Bad MAGIC!
Could not load file ./file/my.pyc

How is the correct code?

You don't need a function here. Try:

find . -name "*.pyc" -exec sh -c "pycdc {} > {}_dec" \;

It would be safer if you use process substitution and run it on a loop instead since your function won't be exported through find.

while read -r F; do
    uncompyle "$F"
done < <(exec find . -type f -name '*.pyc')

Try this:

find . -path '*.pyc' -exec bash -c pycdc "$0" >"$0"_dec {} \;
