# IDAPython in a Nutshell #

IDAPython is an IDA Pro plugin that integrates the Python programming language, allowing scripts to run in IDA Pro. These programs have access to IDA Plugin API, IDC and all modules available for Python. The power of IDA Pro and Python provides a platform for easy prototyping of reverse engineering and other research tools.

```
* IDA Pro 6.7 support - Thanks to the Hex-Rays team for contributing this new release!

* Added support for the new set of functions for dealing with user-provided actions
* add idaapi.get_kernel_version()

* added APIs for accessing the registry 
* added APIs for working with breakpoint groups 
* added umsg() for printing UTF-8 text into the Output Window

* export get_custom_viewer_place(), and allow place_t clone() & related functions 
* expose QueueDel(qtype_t, ea_t), to complete APIs for manipulating entries from the "known list of problems" 
* get_tform_type()/get_tform_title(), & current_tform_changed callback 
* give users the ability to access the underlying TForm/TCutsomControl objects that back higher-level Pythony wrappers, so that the rest of the SDK API can be used as well 
* improve stability and error reporting for Python processor modules 
* Scripts can use OnViewMouseMoved() callback to be notified of mouse movement on views (both user-created, as well as core IDA views)
