Pyemu - cannot use PEPyEmu() module, Python

Question

I want to run code from Gray Hat Python book for upx_unpacker. I have downloaded PyEmu, but when I run script I got this error: AttributeError: PEPyEmu instance has no attribute 'load'

My script use PEPyEmu this way:

sys.path.append("C:\PyEmu\pyemu-master")
sys.path.append("C:\PyEmu\pyemu-master\\lib")
from PyEmu import PEPyEmu

exename = sys.argv[1]
outputfile = sys.argv[2]

emu = PEPyEmu()
if exename:
    if not emu.load(exename):
        print "[!] Problem loading %s" %exename
        sys.exit(2)
else:
    print "[!] Blank filename specified"
    sys.exit(3)

This code is same as in the book, but it does not work. I use Python 2.7.14, Pyemu from https://github.com/codypierce/pyemu Anyone know how to resolve it and run this script? I didn't find any help in the internet.

Answer 1

Please check example usage in https://github.com/codypierce/pyemu/blob/master/examples/pepyemu.py. It looks like load method is not implemented. Based on example usage it's required to load PE file manually.
