The pontos Python package is a collection of utilities, tools, classes and functions maintained by Greenbone Networks.
Pontos is the German name of the Greek titan Pontus, the titan of the sea.
Python 3.7 and later is supported.
pip 19.0 or later is required.
Note: All commands listed here use the general tool names. If some of these tools are provided by your distribution, you may need to explicitly use the Python 3 version of the tool, e.g.
pip3.
You can install the latest stable release of pontos from the Python Package Index (pypi) using pip
pip install --user pontos
Because pontos is a Python library you most likely need a tool to handle Python package dependencies and Python environments. Therefore we strongly recommend using pipenv or poetry.
You can install the latest stable release of pontos and add it as a dependency for your current project using poetry
poetry add pontos
For installation via pipenv please take a look at their documentation.
pontos uses poetry for its own dependency management and build process.
First install poetry via pip
pip install --user poetry
Afterwards run
poetry install
in the checkout directory of pontos (the directory containing the
pyproject.toml file) to install all dependencies including the packages only
required for development.
Afterwards activate the git hooks for auto-formatting and linting via autohooks.
poetry run autohooks activate
Validate the activated git hooks by running
poetry run autohooks check
