+pefile is a Python Portable Executable (PE) reader module.
+
+pefile is a multi-platform Python module to read and work with Portable
+Executable (aka PE) files. Most of the information in the PE Header is
+accessible, as well as all the sections, section's information and data.
+pefile requires some basic understanding of the layout of a PE file. Armed
+with it it's possible to explore nearly every single feature of the file.
+Some of the tasks that pefile makes possible are:
+
+ Modifying and writing back to the PE image
+ Header Inspection
+ Sections analysis
+ Retrieving data
+ Warnings for suspicious and malformed values
+ Packer detection with PEiD's signatures
+ PEiD signature generation
+
+python-future is a run time dependency.
