gvm-tools 2.0.0.beta1

on GitHub

gvm-tools got split into the command line interfaces (gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell) including the
gmp (example) scripts and the Python API. The Python API can now be found at python-gvm. During this split the python package name for the API got changed from gmp to gvm. The API has also been refactored and stabilized. For details please take a look at python-gvm.

Scripts

• It's now possible to write OSP scripts. Using the --protocol=OSP switch
  gvm-pyshell adds a global osp object instead of the gmp one.
• The __name__ variable is set to __gmp__ for GMP scripts and to __osp__
  for OSP scripts (Remember: for normal Python scripts __name__ is set to
  __main__).
• Scripts are only getting two global variables now: gmp (or osp)
  and args. gmp and osp are the global objects to communicate with
  the remote gvmd or ospd daemon. args contains the parsed arguments for
  the script.
• The global args object only contains script related parameters now. These
  username and password from the --gmp-username and --gmp-password switches and
  the additional scripts parameters as args.argv.
• GMPError got renamed to GvmError and must be imported from gvm.errors module.

  from gvm.errors import GvmError as GMPError

• Added new client helper module.
• pretty function isn't available as a global function in the scripts anymore.
  It must be imported separately like

  from gvmtools.helper import pretty_print as pretty

• The included gmp scripts
  have been cleaned up and adjusted for the new API.
• It's possible to get the current versions of gvm-tools via __version__ and
  python-gvm via __api_version__.

Other

• Removed experimental gvm-dialog application.
• Use pipenv for development.
