Instead of constructing shell commands, you instantiate Nmap objects and call methods to run scans and receive results as JSON. The library organizes nmap's capabilities into three main classes: Nmap (general scanning), NmapScanTechniques (various scan types), and NmapHostDiscovery (discovery modes).\n\nThe package depends on simplejson for result serialization and requires nmap itself to be installed on the system. It supports Python 3.6 and later. Several operations require root privileges. The library is useful for automating network reconnaissance tasks within Python scripts, though it remains a thin wrapper around nmap rather than a reimplementation.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need to automate nmap scans from Python and can tolerate the aging maintenance status (698 days since last release). Verify the unclear license before use in proprietary contexts. Requires nmap to be pre-installed on the system and root access for certain operations.
