Talk:Projects
From Python
diStorm is a binary stream disassembler.
It's capable of disassembling 80x86 instructions both in 16 and 32 bits.
In addition, it disassembles FPU, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and 3DNow! (w/ extensions) instruction sets.
diStorm was written to decode every instruction as accurately as possible.
It was written in C and compiled as a Python extension module...

September 2005 - diStorm now supports AMD64, x86-64 decoding mode.
And it will be open source in the near future...

Why in Talk and not in Article? --82.81.202.33 21:53, 14 Jun 2005 (IDT)
I put the link in the Article. Gil - you are welcome to rephrase that link as you wish (just don't make it too long please).
However, several questions:
- This project seems interesting, but there's no sources for the main functionality (the disassembler itself is given as a
Windows COFF .lib file). Are you going to Open the Source?
- I believe there's no lack of propriatary disassemblers for windows. Readers here might not wish to start messing with yet another one unless it has some interesting advantage - e.g. having the sources to play with (and maybe try compiling for their OS of choice ;-)).
- An interesting question we should decide on - do we allow linking to proprietary projects in the Projects page?
- I think we should certainly support opensource stuff, even if it's windows-only.
- As for proprietary projects - I wonder what people think. We might choose to allow stuff that has some special interest to python programmers.

What are "Projects" exactly
(not necessarily related to previous comments): Perhaps the name Projects is too big. Personally I'd also like to see links to some interesting patches/extensions people made for other projects, small utilities and scripts they publish somewhere etc (maybe even some inline code samples?).
I suggest such stuff be put under Projects despite this name, at least until we make a seperate section for them.
