Installation

For Python 3.x (Recommended)

Install directly using pip:

pip install symbolic-alpine

For Python 2.7

Important: Python 2.7 uses pip 20.3.4, which does not support the musllinux_1_1_x86_64 platform tag (introduced in PEP 656, requires pip >= 21.0).

To install on Python 2.7:

1. Download the musllinux_1_1_x86_64 wheel file from PyPI:

   • Visit: https://pypi.org/project/symbolic-alpine/#files
   • Download: symbolic_alpine-8.0.4-cp27-cp27mu-musllinux_1_1_x86_64.whl

2. Use the pip-musl script to install:

# Make the script executable
chmod +x python2_assets/pip-musl

# Install the downloaded wheel file
./python2_assets/pip-musl install symbolic_alpine-8.0.4-cp27-cp27mu-musllinux_1_1_x86_64.whl

Why the special handling for Python 2.7?

The musllinux_1_1_x86_64 platform tag was introduced in PEP 656 and requires pip >= 21.0. Python 2.7 reached end-of-life in 2020, and pip 20.3.4 was the last version to support Python 2.7. Therefore, pip 20.3.4 cannot install wheels with musllinux platform tags.

The pip-musl script works around this limitation by manually extracting and installing the wheel file when it detects a musllinux wheel on an older pip version.

Usage

import symbolic

# Demangle C++ symbols
from symbolic import demangle
result = demangle('_ZN4base8internal12CheckedCastINS_6subtle11PrecheckedEdEEEPNS0_13CheckedNumericEdE')
print('Demangle result:', result)

# Check if architecture is known
from symbolic import arch_is_known
print('x86_64 known:', arch_is_known('x86_64'))
