- Adds `capstone` as a disassembling library that could eventually replace Zydis (for now left that alone) - Replicates all of the existing x86 tests to ARM64, fixed a bunch of underlying issues along the way - There are a very small handful of tests remaining that need to be enabled / fixed

This documentation explains how to install the Python bindings for Capstone from source. If you want to install it from a PyPi package (recommended if you are on Windows), see README.md.
-
To install Capstone and the Python bindings on *nix, run the command below:
pip install bindings/python/
- Building cstest_py
To run the disassembler tests you can install cstest_py as alternative to the normal cstest.
In contrast to cstest, cstest_py also runs on Windows and Mac.
Install with:
pip install bindings/python/cstest_py/
It requires the bindings of course.
- The tests directory contains some test code to show how to use the Capstone API.
-
test_lite.py Similarly to test_basic.py, but this code shows how to use disasm_lite(), a lighter method to disassemble binary. Unlike disasm() API (used by test_basic.py), which returns CsInsn objects, this API just returns tuples of (address, size, mnemonic, op_str).
The main reason for using this API is better performance: disasm_lite() is at least 20% faster than disasm(). Memory usage is also less. So if you just need basic information out of disassembler, use disasm_lite() instead of disasm().
