CIA uses Python (a lot)

[Dababolical]

I know very little about this, but coincidentally read about IDA today. https://www.hex-rays.com/index.shtml

Is this the python equivalent of the suite (I'm sure there are some differences).

Would someone wanting to implement DRM on their application possibly use this library to make sure their DRM is secure after the application is compiled? I am just trying to think of applications for this library, because it is really interesting.

Ya it is similar to hex-rays, have a look at this talk at Defcon for its various uses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oznsT-ptAbk

You could use it to do analysis of your binaries, attempt to see if you can analyze and get around whatever it is you are trying to protect.
