library works great so far!
I'm receiving warnings in my log on each connection though, something to consider.

md   main:WARNING:2017-09-05 19h17.15 UTC:1639: read_from_client_tls: failed to read from client: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.

Specifically create_target() on 0.4.0 via pip doesn't take in a port list argument.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new schedule using the following syntax:

first_time = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=random.randrange(1, 23, 1), days=1)
with Client('X.X.X.X', username='XXXXXX, password='XXXXXXXXXX') as cli:
    r = cli.create_schedule(name,
                            first_time=first_time.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+02:00"),
                            duration=1,
                            duration_unit='day',
                            period=1,
                            period_unit='day',
                            timezone='Europe/Rome')
    r.ok

but it seems to use the current time.

>>> with Client('X.X.X.X', username='XXXXXX', password='XXXXXXXXx') as cli:
...   r = cli.list_schedules()
...   r.ok
... 
True
>>> print(r.data)
[{'timezone': 'Europe/Rome', 'comment': None, 'first_time': '2019-05-13T13:23:00+02:00', 'duration': '86400', 'period': '86400', 'simple_duration': {'unit': 'day', '#text': '1'}, 'period_months': '0', 'timezone_abbrev': 'CEST', 'owner': {'name': 'admin'}, 'permissions': {'permission': {'name': 'Everything'}}, 'in_use': '1', '@id': '662769bf-549b-49bb-9036-b61fa6156a65', 'writable': '1', 'simple_period': {'unit': 'day', '#text': '1'}, 'name': 'cnaf_192.135.24.10', 'modification_time': '2019-05-13T11:23:19Z', 'next_time': '2019-05-14T13:23:00+02:00', 'creation_time': '2019-05-13T11:23:19Z', 'user_tags': {'count': '0'}}]
>>> 

which format should I use in order to define the right first_time parameter

thanks

Hello.I have the following function that I want to use to create a task

def foo(name):
  with Client(host,username,password) as cli:
    cli.create_task(name)

However when calling this function I get the following:

cli.create_task(name) missing 2 required possitional arguments config_uuid and target_uuid`

Any ideas how to fix that

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/

Noticed the use of encoding definitions in each file is a bit varied and doesn't have uniformity across the project and in some cases violates the standard.

Usage:
# coding: utf-8 or # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

A minor thing, but something that jumped out to me. Great project by the way, was about to build this myself then stumbled across this Python3-friendly repo. Just wish it was more active :)

Use docker to pull OpenVAS container for testing & development.

For the time being I can only see list_tasks().

Which other commands are supported

Title says it all :) thanks for the PR merge.

I notice that create_task() doesn't allow preferences to be set.

Design more pythonic API for sending OMP commands

Example:

Hello.I face a situation in which I have to delete a target however I get the error "Target is in use".

Any ideas why this is happening?

I noticed that in your examples I have to do with Client() as cli.However I tried to do the following:

cli = Client(host="localhost",username="foo",password="bar")
cli.list_tasks()

This however throws an error telling me TypeError: File or filename expected, got 'NoneType'.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Add more OpenVAS Management API commands

from pyvas import client
with client(hostname, username='username', password='password') as cli:
r = cli.list_tasks()
r.ok

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

It should be :

from pyvas import *
with Client(hostname, username='username', password='password') as cli:

OR:

import pyvas
with pyvas.Client("127.0.0.1", username='admin', password='123123') as cli:

I'm having trouble running the tests. I've got it to the point where I can run pytest on it, but it fails. I have a working OpenVAS instance and the host I'm trying to run the tests on can talk to it successfully with omp. I wonder if you have any advice on getting this to run successfully please?

This is what I get when I run it with python3 -m pytest from a fresh clone of your repo.

Hi

I tried to download a report in pdf format
I get a string.

with Client('10.1.100.1', username='User', password='password') as cli:
...   t = cli.download_report('114d74d8-55d6-4f9e-959b-529a5209f753', format_uuid='c402cc3e-b531-11e1-9163-406186ea4fc5')

 type(t)
<class 'str'>

what can I do with that string ?

thanks in advance

I am able to read a report using PyVAS, the reports = cli.list_reports() returns all the available reports, I'm traversing through each one of them reports.data[i]['report']['results']['result'] and I see only 10 of the vulnerabilities, how do I get all of them using PyVAS?

Hello.I am in an office in which we have a vm running OpenVas.
My question is whether I can connect to the omp client running in that vm from a different machine.

I tried to use the following code

HOST='an ip address'
with Client(host=HOST,username='username',password='password') as cli:
    cli.list_tasks()

however I get a Connection timedout error(Errno 110).

Any ideas if that's possible?
If it is I would appreciate a code snippet
