import w3af

Posted by:

During the past days I’ve been working on creating a Python “w3af” module. What’s that many may ask! Well, the basic idea is that after the feature branch is done, users will be able to “import w3af” in their Python code and extend the framework more easily.

The ones which will benefit the most with this change are developers which extend w3af, want to include it in other Python tools, etc. It was very difficult to do that before, but it ...
