Don't forget, I want you to design a stripped-down interface that has roughly the capabilities of your Python program. This is what the first iteration of the GUI will look like in about two weeks, if all goes according to plan. Doing a separate command-line program to collect script metadata is my idea to reduce risk. You can continue making progress with that algorithmic code in case the GUI programming poses difficulties. Ideally, your code will be generic enough that we can drop it into the GUI module when that's ready. In fact, it would be a good idea to make this first iteration prototype with PyGTK. You can just place the widgets on the screen, without connecting them to anything, or connecting them to a dummy data source. Then we will take the logic from your command-line program as a real data source. The stripped-down interface is described here: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q2/554. #1 The whole interface of script selection and argument passing fits in to scripting tab of zenmap. #2 The interface must show list of installed scripts in script.db. #10 The interface must display the script arguments supported by at least one selected script at a time, and must allow the user to edit their values. Do you think this is a good idea, to design this interface in PyGTK?
