I am looking for a python library for linux which can demangle the function names which are mangled by MSVC. for example :

Project!??0?$allocator@D@std@@QAE@XZ

Project!public: __thiscall std::allocator::allocator(void)

I found that IDAPython has an API for this but I don't know how to use IDAPython in linux.

How about this solution? Or this.

I need a library of python. These are acceptable as a C++ executable solution. There is also undname.exe from MSVC which does all the work but its an EXE file so I can't use that.

From the answer @Dominik linked to, but first thing I thought as well: "Name-mangling is implementation-specific. Which compiler are you interested in?" See kegel.com/mangle.html for a good introduction.

So what's wrong with the linked solution? Why can't a Python library (I presume you mean Python module) call external binaries? Besides, you didn't mention you were looking for a pure Python solution. Especially since the provided links give clues how to implement it in pure Python, if that's what you absolutely want. This site isn't for recommendations about software and I can't see what's wrong with Dominik's links for example.
