NessusXMLRPC is a Python module written for automating tasks within the latest version of Nessus. While the XMLRPC interface exposed by Nessus provides complete control over application state and configuration, I've implemented only what's needed for automating scanning and email reporting.

The project also includes a rewrite of the Nessus command-line tool (nessus.py) allowing you to further automate scanning and generation of summarized email reports. For details on how to use this stuff, please review the HowTo on the wiki.
