It extracts symbol tables, addresses, and size information from compiled binaries\u2014data essential for reverse-engineering and decompilation workflows. The library ships with multiple CLI utilities (bss_check, jsonify, pj64_syms, objdiff_report, progress, sym_info, symbol_sizes_csv, upload_frogress) that automate common analysis tasks on parsed map data.\n\nThe package depends on requests and decomp-settings, and is designed to integrate with decompilation project workflows, particularly those using the decomp.yaml configuration format. It supports modern Python versions (3.8+) via prebuilt wheels across many architectures, reducing installation friction despite its compiled extension.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working on a decompilation or reverse-engineering project that needs to parse linker map files. The active maintenance, broad architecture support, and built-in CLI utilities make it a practical choice. However, verify the license terms first, as they are not clearly documented in the package metadata."},"id":"mapfile-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mapfile-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mapfile-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mapfile-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"mapfile_parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Map file parser library focusing decompilation projects"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":207475,"position":9549,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.13.0"}
