@mr-tz @mike-hunhoff i’ve added you both as collaborators to ida-settings. please feel welcomed to make any changes there that are needed for capa. you can do a release to cause gh actions to push a package to pypi.

in theory this should be fixed in https://github.com/fireeye/capa/commit/8cd90e5c2d49ad11aba52b643bb8b33912e4b073 by bumping ida-settings to v2.1.0

when you have a moment, can someone verify on 2.7?
