Command Line Options

The pymixup.py program can be run from the command line. For example, to obfuscate the project specified in common/settings.py with all new obfuscated names, enter:

$ python pymixup.py --rebuild

Parameters

All parameters must be preceded by a double dash. Some parameter may use a supplied value (as in the brackets (<>) below).

norecurs

  • Include this parameter to NOT process the base directory recursively. That is, don’t process the subdirectories.

  • Example:

    $ python pymixup.py --norecurs
    

platform <platform name>

  • The destination platform.

  • This will be used to apply the platform directives.

  • Optional.

  • Example:

    $ python pymixup.py --platform android
    

rebuild

  • Rebuild the identifiers and reserved name tables.

  • If not specified, existing obfuscated identifiers and reserved names will retain their prior randomized names. New identifiers and reserved names may be be added.

  • Example:

    $ python pymixup.py --rebuild
    

addidents

  • Search for and add new identifiers or reserved names.

  • If the –rebuild parameter is specified, then this parameter is irrelevant, since the tables will be completely rebuilt.

  • Use this option when you do not want to keep the prior obfuscated name assignments but have added new names or changed some to reserved.

  • Example:

    $ python pymixup.py --addidents
    

verbose

  • Print verbose messages.

  • Optional.

  • Example:

    $ python pymixup.py --verbose
