Further analysis of the maintenance status of yara based on released PyPI versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.

An important project maintenance signal to consider for yara is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to PyPI in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.

In the past month we didn't find any pull request activity or change in issues status has been detected for the GitHub repository.

Introduction to yara-ctypes-python

What's in yara-ctypes:

A ctypes libyara wrapper module which exposes libyara's exports into the Python runtime (see: yara-project's libyara v1.7).
A thread safe Rules object with an interface that is compatible with the interface exposed in the yara-project CPython extension module.
namespace management to allow easy loading of multiple YARA rules into a single Rules matching object.
Various Scanner class types to enable thread or process pool execution of matching requests over a Rules object.
A feature rich command line interface that gives the user many options to control how they may wish to perform a scan.

Why:

ctypes releases the GIL on system function calls... Run your PC to its true potential.
It simplifies things a lot by keeping high order logic such as managing rules paths, filtering paths, controlling pooled execution, etc. inside of a language such as Python.
No more building the PyC extension...
I found a few bugs and memory leaks and wanted to make my life simple.

As a reference and guide to yara-ctypes see: yara-ctypes documentation

For additional tips / tricks with this wrapper feel free to post a question at the github yara-ctypes/issues page.
