I have IDA Pro 7.4 that use with Python 3.7 and I have some IDA-plugin that works only with Python 2.7.

Is there any way to run that Python 2.7 based plugin?

You can't use Python 3 and Python 2 in IDA simultaneously, but you could switch between them by following instructions in README_python3.txt until IDA 8.0, which dropped Python 2 support.

  • @igor Are you sure that this will work? Because when i run idapythonswitch, it doesn't detect my python2, and that readme says its only for python3.. and the force path requires a python3.dll which that or python2.dll are not present in python2. It gives this error "Cannot determine python library version for "C:\Python27": No "python3.dll" " Commented Mar 29, 2023 at 16:48
  • @OneAndOnly Python 2 support has been removed in IDA 8.0. In theory, you can try building an old version of IDAPython with Python 2 support but I don't know if it will work with 8.x. Commented Mar 30, 2023 at 10:31
