Python binding and pushing to PyPi

[DanielBotnik]

Hey, I am using the python interface of binwalk 2.3.3 and I would like to move to 3.0.0 but this doesn't work because the codebase is now in rust.

Would you be ok with adding python bindings for the package? Also pushing it to pypi.org so this can be installed with pip/uv.

I don't mind doing the PR, if you are fine with the concepts.

Thanks :)

Note that binwalk is not portable, so packaging it as a python package by itself won't be enough (for it to be fully functional, you will need to run it alongside many dependencies, some are not trivially installable), and in my opinion doesn't make much sense as of now. If you just want the binary you can cargo build it.

The best solution in my opinion, until binwalk is portable, is to run it as a docker container (that bundles in all the dependencies), there is a Dockerfile in this repo.

Also, note that it seems like this repo is not maintained, and I forked it (#935), and track the issue of making it portable on the new repo (binwalk-ng#1).
For the new repo there is also a pre-built docker image, you can use it by running

docker run --rm -v .:/analysis ghcr.io/binwalk-ng/binwalk-ng:main <FILE_TO_ANALYZE>
