ida 7.4 python 3.8.5 - crash upon startup

[galosss]

after installing ipyida, having the above versions of ida and python, ida encounters a problem upon startup, and crashes immediately.

I think this issue should be closed. This is almost certainly the fact that IDA 7.4 + Python 3.8 does not have working python Qt bindings.

c.f:

• https://www.hex-rays.com/blog/ida-7-4-and-python-3-8/

The solution is to use Python 3.6/3.7, or upgrade to IDA 7.5+ which fully supports Python 3.8 and has properly compiled Qt bindings for newer versions of Python.

Hey @galosss,

I think @gaasedelen is right: it may be a problem with IDA/IDAPython itself and not IPyIDA.

If you still have problems please share the exact error message(s) so we can help further.

Cheers,
