pykasm 0.1.0

A library for low-level abstract use to high-level.

🛠 pykasm

pykasm is a Python library for executing Assembly (ASM) code directly from Python scripts, allowing low-level integration with system calls and native libraries.

The goal is to provide a bridge between Python and Assembly, enabling developers to explore optimizations, manipulate memory, and execute machine instructions in a controlled manner.

📦 Installation

You can install via pip (after publication on PyPI):

pip install pykasm
