I am working on a project that uses libimobiledevice to access information from iOS devices. Up to now, I have been using a compiled Windows version (here) which has .exe files which I can use to do stuff like getting device name or info. I would like to have this same functionality through Python, but I have struggling to find and Python bindings which are working for me. The libimobiledevice repo includes "Cython based bindings for Python". Is this what I'm looking for to use libimobiledevice in my Python project? If so, how do I use these Cython files in the same way I would use ideviceinfo or idevicename from the binaries of the libimobiledevice-win32 project? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

1It probably is what you're looking for. When you install it with the instructions given it should give you a compiled Python module (the file ending with .pyd on Windows). You should be able to import it like any other Python module, and then use `dir()` to figure out what interface it has – DavidW Dec 17 '20 at 13:28

Thanks, this has clarified it for me. However, I don't know how to install it on Windows without using the provided builds of libimobiledevice which only contain exe and dll files. To get the compiled Python module it seems I would need more than these builds provide. – Adrian Russo Dec 17 '20 at 19:53
