idapro

library0.0.8pypypiunverified

IDAPython is the official Python SDK for Hex-Rays IDA Pro disassembler. This PyPI package (version 0.0.8) provides the `idapython` module that allows loading and executing IDA scripts from outside IDA. It is a thin wrapper that communicates with a running IDA instance via IPC. Note that the standard IDAPython API (ida_*, idc, idautils) is only available inside IDA's embedded Python, not from this external package. Use for automation, script launching, and headless analysis.

Known issues

breakingThe 'idapro' package (PyPI version 0.0.8) is NOT the standard IDAPython SDK. The standard IDA Python modules (ida_*, idc, idautils) are NOT available via 'import idapro'. They are only available inside IDA's embedded Python interpreter.

fix

Use 'import idapro' only for the external wrapper. For standard IDAPython scripting, work inside IDA or use IDA's built-in Python environment.

affects: all

gotchaWhen using idapro.IDAPython(), ensure IDA Pro is already running and the IDAPython plugin is loaded. The connection may fail silently or with unclear errors if IDA is not ready.

fix

Start IDA Pro and open a database before running scripts that use 'idapro'.

affects: all

deprecatedSome older examples use 'idapython.IDAPython()' directly. This is no longer correct; you must import via 'from idapro import idapython' or use 'import idapro' and then 'idapro.IDAPython()'.

fix

Use 'from idapro import idapython' or simply 'import idapro' and call 'idapro.IDAPython()'.

affects: 0.0.8

gotchaThe 'execute' method runs code synchronously. For long-running scripts, use 'exec_async' (if available) or spawn a thread. The default timeout may cause script to hang.

fix

For non-blocking execution, check if 'ida.exec_async' is available or run code that completes quickly.
