The Google Cloud Pub/Sub python module.

This is a test of google feature from cloud.google.com/pubsub web page.
The Google development team tell us about this service:
The Google Cloud Pub/Sub service allows applications to exchange messages reliably, quickly, and asynchronously. To accomplish this, a producer of data publishes a message to a Cloud Pub/Subtopic. A subscriber client then creates a subscription to that topic and consumes messages from the subscription. Cloud Pub/Sub persists messages that could not be delivered reliably for up to seven days. This page shows you how to get started publishing messages with Cloud Pub/Sub using client libraries.
The simple idea about this is:
Publisher applications can send messages to a topic, and other applications can subscribe to that topic to receive the messages.
I start with the installation of the python module using python version 2.7 and pip tool.
C:\Python27>cd Scripts

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install --upgrade google-cloud-pubsub
Collecting google-cloud-pubsub
  Downloading google_cloud_pubsub-0.28.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl (79kB)

psutil-5.4.0 pyasn1-modules-0.1.5 setuptools-36.6.0
The next steps come with some settings on google console, see this google page.
The default settings can be started and set with this command: gcloud init .
You need to edit this settings and app.yaml at ~/src/.../appengine/flexible/pubsub$ nano app.yaml.
After that, you set all of this using the command gcloud app deploy you can see the output at https://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID].appspot.com.
The main goal of this tutorial was to start and run the Google Cloud Pub/Sub service with python and this has been achieved.

The online editor for python and google .

This is a good online editor for python and google.
Like any online editor, some python modules are not available for online security reasons.
I do not know what python modules are implemented in this online editor.
I tested just sys and math python modules.
The Google Apps come with this tool integration like application for Google drive:
Edit your python file directly in your browser:
- Save it to Google Drive integrated with Google Drive
- Test it in your browser with Skulpt
- Use autocompletion code (CTRL+SPACE)
- No registration required and totally free
- Export your file
- Work offline
New python libraries partially supported: numpy, matplotlib.

The capstone python module - disassembly framework.

The official python module comes with this info about this python module:
Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate
the disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community.

Created by Nguyen Anh Quynh, then developed and maintained by a small community,
Capstone offers some unparalleled features:

- Support multiple hardware architectures: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), Mips, PPC & X86.

- Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.

- Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others).

- Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit
registers read & written.

- Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight wrappers for C++, Python,
Ruby, OCaml, C#, Java and Go available.

- Native support for Windows & *nix platforms (with OSX, Linux, *BSD & Solaris
have been confirmed).

- Thread-safe by design.

- Distributed under the open source BSD license.

Today I tested this python module with python version 2.7.
First I need to use a build of this python module from the official website.
I used binaries 32 bits like my python 2.7 and I tested with pip 2.7:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install capstone
Requirement already satisfied: capstone in c:\python27\lib\site-packages
Let's make a simple test with this python module:

C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:42:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from capstone import (
...     Cs,
...     CS_ARCH_X86,
...     CS_MODE_32,
...     CS_OPT_SYNTAX_ATT,
... )
>>> mode=Cs(CS_ARCH_X86, CS_MODE_32)
>>> mode.syntax = CS_OPT_SYNTAX_ATT
>>> def D_ASM(code):
...     for address, size, mnemonic, op_str in mode.disasm_lite(code, offset=0x08048060):
...         print("0x{0:x}\t{1:d}\t{2:s}\t{3:s}".format(address, size,mnemonic, op_str))
...
>>> D_ASM(b"\xe1\x0b\x40\xb9\x20\x04\x81\xda\x20\x08\x02\x8b")
0x8048060       2       loope   0x804806d
0x8048062       1       incl    %eax
0x8048063       5       movl    $0xda810420, %ecx
0x8048068       2       andb    %cl, (%eax)
It seems to work very well.
