Hello Mukhitdinov, Thanks for your interest on Umit! Thanks Guilherme for your answer ;-) I would like to add something...

It depends. If we're talking about windows packages, we're certainly going to provide users with all the dependencies without considering that they already have it. Windows is a different reality. But that, will not influence the design of your proposal, so as Guilherme has said you shouldn't worry at this stage ;-) >> 2) I know only two methods of extending Python: writing code for wrappers >> manually; using SWIG.

Our main goal is to have a way to interact with nmap during runtime, get it's progress status, interact during runtime, stop it safely on any platform, etc. If you meet all these goals in your proposal, we'll consider your solution in matters of portability, maintainability, etc. Hope that helped you ;-) Cheers! -- Adriano Monteiro Marques http://adriano-marques.blogspot.com http://www.umitproject.org http://www.pythonbenelux.org "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed." - George Burns ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
