Support python 3

In theory rewriting things with pybind11 should make this very doable. Part of the API is already in pybind11, but the interpreter isn’t (because at the time this wasn’t supported). Do you have any suggestions to have this transition go smoothly?

Previously the argument to not support python 3 was that basically nobody was using it in RE, but now that IDA switched(?) I think it’s time...

Currently no, I have not even looked into the sources yet.

I have not looked into the sources either.
But what is pybind11 for? The QT lib?
Maybe we don't need the GUI, just loading and running python script is enough.
Or use a embedded ipython even better.

Then maybe look into the sources and what x64dbgpy actually does before commenting 😏

python3 supports a lot of powerful binary analysis frameworks, and it will be exciting to combine it with x64dbg

Some development has happened recently, but it's very early stage and currently you can pretty much only print("Hello world"): https://github.com/x64dbg/x64dbgpy3/tree/dev

Was wondering if there are any plans to complete the support for python3? There's so many modules available now that would help in x64dbg scripts that aren't compatible with python2.

See https://github.com/x64dbg/x64dbg/wiki/Plugins there’s a few python 3 plugins

Thanks, I'll check those out and try developing some python3 based scripts myself - see what works.
