A cross-platform tool/library allowing to inject python code into a running python process.

Based on [kmaork/pyinjector](https://github.com/kmaork/pyinjector).

If you are trying to debug a python process, check out [kmaork/madbg](https://github.com/kmaork/madbg).

### Installation

```shell script

pip install hypno

```

Both source distributions, manylinux, musslinux, mac and windows wheels are uploaded to pypi for every release.

### Usage

#### CLI

```shell script

hypno  

```

#### API

```python

from hypno import inject_py

inject_py(pid, python_code)

```

#### Example

This example runs a python program that prints its pid, and then attaches to the newly created process and

injects it with another print statement using hypno. Mac users will need to use `sudo` for the second command.

```shell script

python -c "import os, time; print('Hello from', os.getpid()); time.sleep(0.5)" &\

hypno $! "import os; print('Hello again from', os.getpid())"

```

### Security

Hypno briefly generates a temporary file containing the requested python code.

This file is given 644 permissions by default, which means all users can read it.

To use custom permissions, you can pass the `permissions` argument to `inject_py()`.
