Setup fails eith error: package directory 'dwex/elftools' does not exist

Hi,
I'm assuming i can just clone pyelftools and filebytes to this dir and this will succeed, correct?
P.S This tools seems really cool, looking forward to checking it out
Thanks
I'm on Mac btwnd did a pip3 install pyqt5
Oops, forgot about those two. I'm working with somewhat patched versions of both of them, but the vanilla versions might work for you. Just install them both from pip:
pip3 install pyelftools
pip3 install filebytes
Once I publish to pip, I'm going to ship my patched versions alongside. Not there yet, still ironing out the kinks :(
If you're on MacOS, are you going to work with dSYM bundles? That was one of my patches, the version of filebytes that's currently on pip doesn't support those.
UPDATE: I've published the patched dependencies. Please pull the latest and try setup again.
Then use "dwex" to run. The setup creates an executable.
I've got bit of a weird setup. I'm working on Mac but pulling in my ELF files from a Linux machine so I won't be using dSYM. Just pulled and it appears to b working well. Thanks!
Update: it's on PyPI now. pip install dwex (with sudo if necessary).
Do you know of any limits to the size of the object files I can use. I'm playing around with a small file for now but I generally use shared object libraries that can be up to a couple gigabytes
I've worked with files up to 20 MB. The performance was decent. It doesn't try to parse and cache the whole file all at once (at least with ELF files). With Mach-O and PE - I have to check.
There are some scenarios that call for parsing the whole file (e. g. the Find command), but if you just click around in the tree, only the elements that you've been looking at are parsed.
