[sleuthkit-developers] New Sleuthkit python bindings

[Michael C. <scu...@gm...>]

Hi Lists,
  I have just uploaded a new experimental python binding for tsk3.1 in

http://code.google.com/p/pytsk/

To build just unpack, adjust the location to the tsk headers in the
top of setup.py (default is /usr/local/include/tsk) and then run

 python setup.py install

There are some sample scripts there which emulate fls, ils, istat etc
just to give an idea of how to use the library from a python script.
The bindings have been tested on ubuntu 10.04 - they are known not to
work currently under windows. If there is interest in windows support
I can burn some cycles on it at a later date.

Of interest is a python fuse binding which allows users to mount the
filesystem onto a directory. You will see any deleted files
discoverable by tsk and maybe even read them.

Please test and provide feedback,

Thanks
Michael.
