Summary
This is a comprehensive reference for writing IDAPython scripts when you're reverse engineering binaries in IDA Pro. It covers the modern ida_* module ecosystem with a routing table for common tasks, code patterns for everything from iterating functions to walking the decompiler's AST, and examples for working with types, cross-references, and Hex-Rays decompilation. The anti-patterns section is especially helpful since it steers you away from the legacy idc module that still shows up in old Stack Overflow answers. If you're doing any serious binary analysis work in IDA, this cuts through the fragmented documentation and gives you working patterns for the most common scripting tasks.
