stdout during event_callback cannot be used about python-libnmap HOT 5 CLOSED

yep, I didn't implemented a partial xml block parser. This could be achieved with a pull-dom type parser but I haven't. The basic idea is already there but I only did it partially to collect the percentage done but no other events (see def __process_event in process.py).

If you fee like implementing this, do not hesitate, fork and issue a pull request, I would be happy to merge such feature but I will probably not have the time to do this myself for the moment.

Hi, in fact, the workaround that I use is hard adding at the
end of the partial xml returned, this work for me. I'm not sure this is
the solution that you expect ^^.
Thanks for your work

Hey,

I'll add an attribute to parse() method "incomplete" which will basically enable you to parse interrupted or not yet finished scan.

I've tested you raw style method of appending a at the end of the stream and it seems to work (although the best would be to add another xml stream based parser engine, but I know, i'll never do this :p)

If, from your experience, you have improved the proposed method, do not hesitate to issue a pull request or provide me with some comments :)

feedback is always good.

Cheers!

Hi,

I have not improved this method, it was sufficient for all my test cases.
But in fact, I have to switch to python-nmap because of CPU consumption.

You are using python thread, but this is not as performant as
muti-processing:
Sometimes, it takes 90% of one processor.
With python-nmap: less than 1%

So you should probably consider to use multi-processing.

Thanks for your reactivity

Good job
