This example shows how to extend Python/IDAPython from your plugin using pybind11. It also illustrates how to interface with Python from C++.
Please watch the explanation video here.
Some important caveats:
-
IDA will always initialize IDAPython first on start but it won't fully be initialized yet
-
We wait for the
HT_UI/ui_initing_databaseevent and then we extend Python -
When we register our extensions, we pin this plugin DLL so that it won't be unloaded before Python
- This prevents a crash if someone was holding a reference to our extension methods, classes or objects
-
This plugin has only been tested on Windows, with Python 3.11
- Please feel free to test and make a PR for other platforms
