Schnibble

Schnibble is a project aimed at providing useful Python APIs for processing python bytecode. Schnibble is named after the adventure game Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth. You may find the project curious though it is quite incomplete at this stage.

Abstract interpretation

Abstract interpretation refers to executing a program with an abstract execution system. Instead of concrete values, abstract value are produced. Instead of taking one of a set of possible branches, all branches are taken.

Abstract interpretation is an useful tool in static analysis.

Contributions

I'm interested in knowing about issues. If you find a problem please open a ticket on github. If you'd like to contribute code please create a github fork and create a pull request.

Supported platforms

Schnibble works on CPython 2.7 (ironically selected due to its stability) on any OS platform. Support for Pypy will be investigated later. Python 3.x support is a plan for later period after all of the basics are supported on a stable bytecode set.
