"ImportError: cannot import name arm_const"

Hi,

I want to install keystone on my Mac 10.12.6, IDA Pro 7.0;

After following the instructions https://github.com/keystone-engine/keypatch/issues/28, I installed all required python and dylib. And keystone can be import from my own /usr/bin/python.

However, I got an ImportError: cannot import name arm_const when import keystone in the console of ida and don't know why.

I wasted several hours on searching the solution but nothing worked.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Your problem cannot be reproduced.

Quickly use, portability, you can

cp -r "~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/keystone"  "/Applications/IDA Pro 7.0/ida64.app/Contents/MacOS/python/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload"

I got same problem in Kali. I'm using keystone-engine for gef.

It's very confusing.
