It handles Motorola S-Record (.s19, .s28, .s37), Intel HEX (.hex), TI-TXT, Verilog VMEM, ELF, and raw binary formats, allowing you to load a file in one format and export it in another, inspect segments and address ranges, or manipulate binary data programmatically.\n\nThe library provides both a Python API for scripting and standalone CLI commands: `bincopy info` displays file metadata and data ranges, `bincopy convert` transforms between formats or concatenates multiple files, `bincopy fill` closes gaps between segments, and `bincopy pretty` formats files for readability. It depends on humanfriendly, argparse_addons, and pyelftools, all lightweight utilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. Bincopy is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and solves a specific and well-defined problem in embedded systems workflows. The MIT license imposes no restrictions. Install it if you work with firmware files, bootloaders, or embedded binary formats."},"id":"bincopy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bincopy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bincopy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bincopy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bincopy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Mangling of various file formats that conveys binary information (Motorola S-Record, Intel HEX and binary files)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":774462,"position":5093,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"20.1.1"}
